Right now the ObjectStore::delete_stream method requires the input stream to have a lifetime 'a. This restriction makes it more challenging for implementers. For example, in my project, I have a ObjectStore wrapper that needs to spawn tasks for the operation, but since the input is 'a, I cannot move the input to the future due to Rust's lifetime checker.

It seems delete_stream is the only method that requires the 'a lifetime. Other methods have been changed to use 'static streams (apache/arrow-rs#6619) already, so this may be a leftover due to historical reasons.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd imagine the delete_stream method to be changed to the following.

    fn delete_stream(
        &self,
        locations: BoxStream<'static, Result<Path>>,
    ) -> BoxStream<'static, Result<Path>> {

This is a breaking change on the interface, so all the implementations need to be adjusted accordingly. Fortunately, the method won't become harder to implement since this is a restriction on the input so it refines the problem space for the implementer.

For users, this breaking change won't be too disruptive either, since the typical use case is to get the stream from list or list_with_offset (where the returned stream is of 'static lifetime already), and then pass the stream to delete_stream.

Since this would be a breaking change, I wonder if this could be considered for the 0.13 release (#367).
