Description
Given that Arrow is the preferred backend for a Dataset, what is a user supposed to do if they want concurrent reads, concurrent writes AND on-disk compression for a larger dataset?
Parquet would be the obvious answer except that there is no native support for writing sharded, parquet datasets concurrently [[1](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/7047)].
Am I missing something?
And if so, why is this not the standard/default way that `Dataset`'s work as they do in Xarray, Ray Data, Composer, etc.?
