Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
We have ulimit(s) set in linux so I tried using the @max_open_file parameter in pyarrow.Dataset.write_dataset().
My python program just hangs and it seems like the write_dataset() function is not closing files so it can't open new ones..
I can see the amount of files written appears to be exactly double when @max_open_files is set to double before everything hangs..
I'm also writing out partioned data in the following directory structure:
parted_parquet/end_date_year=2019/end_date_month=9/end_date_day=9/flows.0.parquet
with max_open_files = 256
du -h -s parted_parquet
1.3G parted_parquet
with max_open_files = 128
du -h -s parted_parquet
686M parted_parquet
