> As suggested by [~jorgecarleitao] on https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/7959#pullrequestreview-467291192 -- 
> > #### Other formats?
> > One thing I dislike about spark is that EXPLAIN is in a not-so-nice format to parse programmatically. One idea is to allow `explain` to return the result in json. This is e.g. useful to construct a visual graph representation of the plan. One idea would be to support another string parameter, `format`, and make it default to `string` (not necessarily in this PR).
> The typical thing I have used in the past to great effect is graphviz: https://graphviz.org/ and `dot` -- so the idea is that we would get a command like:
> {code}
> EXPLAIN FORMAT GRAPHVIZ SELECT * FROM FOO
> {code}
> which would provide the plan in graphviz format (in addition to text)
