Description

Dataset.buildQuery() currently hardcodes + '.csv?' to the end of the query string. This simplifies the read_csv() logic in .asNumpy/.asPandas, but we need to support more formats than just CSV. Users should have the option to specify the format.

Something like dataset.suffix('json') or dataset.buildQuery(suffix='json')?

Research direction

Start with Dataset.buildQuery() and trace how .asNumpy and .asPandas consume its query string. Compare the proposed suffix('json') and buildQuery(suffix='json') entry points, then verify that a caller can select a non-CSV format while existing CSV behavior remains unchanged.
