Description

I had issues finding good examples of how to use make_write_options and ended up calling it without having instantiated the ParquetFileFormat, which resulted in a segmentation fault:

>>> import pyarrow.dataset
>>> pyarrow.dataset.ParquetFileFormat.make_write_options(42)
[1]    64569 segmentation fault  python

Expected behavior

Even though the way I called the method was nonsense, I'm guessing there could be better error handling than a segfault 🙂

Additional information

• The issue happens regardless of the parameters passed (as long as there is at least one)
• Tested on Python 3.11.6 and 3.8.14
• PyArrow version 14.0.2
• macOS 14.2 ARM
