             Summary: [CI][C++][Docs] The use of clcache when developing on Windows
                 Key: ARROW-17949
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17949
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++, Continuous Integration, Documentation
            Reporter: Alenka Frim


When I was trying to update AppVeyor build to use Python 3.10 in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17892 CI build gave me an error about the pyuv source install: [https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/arrow/builds/44974788#L884|https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/arrow/builds/44974788#L884.]

After some investigation me and Joris found that [clcache|https://github.com/frerich/clcache] project used in the AppVeyor setup is archived and it's dependency [pyuv|https://pypi.org/project/pyuv/#files] is no longer maintained.
h5. Is there any substitute for clcache?

There is a [PR|https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12230/files#diff-1380789f5b2c91702997c503a501ba8cbaa3a44747848e7c372b8b6eda1369f0] from [~willjones127] that changes the documentation to advise a use of [https://github.com/Nuitka/clcache] . That project is unfortunately also depending on pyuv. 

But is there any other alternative to these two projects? cc [~raulcd] [~assignUser] 
h5. Arrow C++ documentation

The use of clcache is still mentioned in our [C++ docs |https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/developers/cpp/windows.html#building-with-ninja-and-clcache]and should be updated/removed.
