### Describe the enhancement requested It would be nice to have some method available in PyArrow to lazily read a collection of Arrow IPC stream files. This would be a great complement to the [Arrow over HTTP](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/40465) project, because a common use case is for the user to download multiple Arrow IPC stream files from the HTTP server and then read them into Python. The [dataset API](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.dataset.dataset.html) works with files in the Arrow IPC _file_ format, but it does not currently work with files in the Arrow IPC _stream_ format. Also, as far as I can tell, it is not currently possible to create a record batch stream reader from a collection of multiple Arrow IPC stream files with the same schema. Maybe there is some way to achieve this with `itertools`? ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
