Add kwarg to filter columns

[JoaoAparicio]

Currently we don't have the option to load just a subset of the columns. This matters e.g. when compression is the bottleneck.

For example, create a compressed arrow file.

using Arrow
p =tempname();
N =1000000
tbl = (
a=rand(N),
b=rand(N),
c=rand(N),
d=rand(N),
e=rand(N),
f=[rand(rand(0:100)) for _ in1:N],
);
Arrow.write(p, tbl; compress=:zstd);

Column f is the longest - it has an expected 50*N elements vs N for the rest Some times we only care for some of the other columns. Currently we must decompress all columns regardless:

using BenchmarkTools
@btime tbl = Arrow.Table(p); # 359.205 ms (530 allocations: 794.23 MiB)

With this commit we can load only some of the columns

@btime tbl = Arrow.Table(p; filtercolumns=["a"]); # 6.146 ms (231 allocations: 14.33 MiB)

Converting this to draft as I'm working on something that will supersede this.

Does anyone wanna re-run CI? Looks like macos got stuck

Done.

Hi, what's the status of this PR? Would love to see what I can do @JoaoAparicio

[oschulz]

This would be a very important feature for us, too.

for the API, filtercolumns seems a bit ambiguous to me (are we keeping them or removing them). CSV.jl has select and drop (https://csv.juliadata.org/stable/reading.html#CSV.File) which seems nice. Maybe select or select_columns for the name here?

We need to rebase on main to proceed this.
