[GLib][Ruby] Split the S3 bindings to arrow-s3-glib #51608
Description
Describe the enhancement requested
#50195 extracted the S3 module to a separated library.
We want to split the S3 bindings in GLib to a separated library: arrow-s3-glib
GLib TODO:
- Extract all S3 related features to arrow-s3-glib (
c_glib/arrow-s3-glib/) from arrow-glib - Add a filesystem
GTyperegistration API:garrow_file_system_register_type(type_name, gtype)? - Make
garrow_file_system_new_raw()look up the registeredGTypeand fall back toGArrowFileSystemwhen none is registered - Add a binding for
arrow::fs::EnsureFinalized():garrow_file_system_ensure_finalized()? - Update Linux packages
Ruby TODO:
- Extract all S3 related features to red-arrow-s3 from red-arrow
- Keep backward compatibility as much as possible but users who want to use S3 features need to require red-arrow-s3 explicitly

This is not an easy task. We need to create subissues and proceed this step by step for easy to review.

Makes sense @kou . Would something along these lines be a reasonable breakdown?
garrow_file_system_new_raw()to use it.arrow::fs::EnsureFinalized().arrow-s3-gliband move the S3-specific GLib bindings/tests into it.arrow-s3-glib.red-arrow-s3and move the S3-specific Ruby bindings into it, preserving backward compatibility where possible.If this breakdown looks good, we can create the subissues and start with the first one.

Thanks. Let's try this approach. Could you open subissues?
We may find additional tasks while we work on this but we can create more subissues when we find them.

@kou sounds great, can we please assign this to me?
kou commentedon Oct 5, 2026
This is an umbrella issue. Let's keep no assigner for now. Let's assign subissues to you one by one instead. Other may help us. We may assign some subissues to others.

@kou Opened #51816 for the first subissue. I don’t seem to have permission to add the subissue relationship directly, could you attach it under this umbrella issue?

Thanks! Done!
