Description

🚀 The feature

The ParquetDataFrameLoader allows us to read parquet files from the local file system, but I don't think it supports reading parquet files from (for example) an S3 bucket.

Make this possible.

Motivation, pitch

I would like to train my models on parquet files stored in an S3 bucket.

Alternatives

You could probably download the parquet file locally and then use the ParquetDataFrameLoader?

Research direction

Start with the ParquetDataFrameLoader entry point and trace how it currently accepts local files. Identify the repository's relevant loader tests or add focused coverage for an S3-backed parquet path. Done means the loader can read parquet data directly from an S3 bucket while preserving its existing local-file behavior.
