bkietz opened a new issue, #46369: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/46369
### Describe the enhancement requested From discussion on PR https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/41559#discussion_r1768836077 and the [mailing list](https://lists.apache.org/thread/ot4p23mc292p5103nfgrbyqpnhhp6clx), it's desirable to extend the filesystem factory interface to accept a set of key-value pairs in addition to a URL. This will draw a clearer distinction between filesystem options which are expected to be independent of the user (the URI, which should be reusable by multiple users) and options which are expected to be particular to a user (the key-value pairs, which may contain a user's keys/tokens/...). In particular it will remove the ambiguity of whether filesystem URIs must be guarded: URIs will not contain secrets and need not be guarded. ### Component(s) C++ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
