             Summary: [C++] rename ARROW_ENGINE to ARROW_SUBSTRAIT
                 Key: ARROW-16158
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16158
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++
            Reporter: Jonathan Keane


When we introduced substrait we reused the cmake + feature {{ARROW_ENGINE}} to mean compute+a few other things as well as the substrait consumer functionality. In general, right now, we don't yet need (or want) to build substrait in our packages (e.g. the R package) since many places don't yet take advantage of it. But the naming of the cmake or feature is now confusing: it effectively is only substrait if you separately enable copmute, etc. but it makes it sound like the query engine we have been building since 6.0.0 is disabled.

We should rename {{ARROW_ENGINE}} to {{ARROW_SUBSTRAIT}} now and then we can add an {{ARROW_ENGINE}} later if we need to encompass a larger set of engine functionality (e.g. compute+spillover+scheduler+memory limits) if that's needed.
