There are some related issues that I think might be good to close now? #8345 and #8637

I was able to implement basic read support for ORC files via ListingTable provider:

https://github.com/datafusion-contrib/datafusion-orc/blob/main/src/datafusion/mod.rs

Which might be enough to demonstrate those issues are done?

Makes sense to me -- thank you @Jefffrey

As you go through implementing ORC support, if you hit anything else that woudl make it easier to add new format support to the core and/or listing table that would be great.

strictly speaking this is an API change but I think it makes it easier to implement new formats 🚀

Indeed -- it sounds reasonable

In my mind, the ideal example is to make an example in datafusion-examples showing how to create a custom file format

I wonder if we could create a custom CSV reader that ignores comments 🤔 -- for example #10262 that @bbannier has been working on

Will definitely keep this in mind 👍

Thanks again @Jefffrey
