[jira] [Created] (ARROW-15119) [C++] Some filesystems may allow reading directories

Carlos O'Ryan created ARROW-15119:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: [C++] Some filesystems may allow reading directories
                 Key: ARROW-15119
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15119
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Carlos O'Ryan


The generic filesystem tests assert that reading a directory should fail.  If directories are implemented as described in ARROW-15114 this would be expensive to implement (at least in the near future), as it would require two roundtrips to the service to fetch the object metadata.

I would rather change the generic tests to allow reading directories, and if we find a cheaper way to fix this later we can restore the tests.
