             Summary: Substrait SinkNode Modification for usability
                 Key: ARROW-16036
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16036
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Vibhatha Lakmal Abeykoon


Currently, the Substrait implementation uses a `consuming_sink` node as the end-point to capture the results of an executed query. To further enhance the ability to use the wide variety of `SinkNode`s in the streaming execution engine, it is better to evaluate other options to provide usability for various use cases. 

Some of the use cases include consuming a Substrait query plan in R and Python APIs. And this extends beyond the Arrow APIs where third-party tools willing to use Substrait can be benefitted from these. At the moment there is active work on providing R/Python APIs for Substrait consumption (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15779). 
A potential modification to provide usability is to take in a `SinkNodeFactory`-like interface instead of just using the `ConsumingSink` (current implementation). Such a modification would provide flexibility in developing a wide array of applications. 
This issue is open for discussion.
