Context:

I am trying to use asv for benchmarking and seems that the PyArrow project also use this: https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/main/python/benchmarks

More evidence:

I've downloaded the latest package from Pypi: https://pypi.org/project/pyarrow/#files, and unzip the folder locally.

I found this document discuss the benchmarks folder. It makes sense to have this in the source code, but it doesn't make sense to me to include this into the python package. Since the way that it works you need to run asv run so user are expected to run this with source code.

Suggestion

Is this necessary to be packaged into the pyarrow library? If this is unexpected, I can raise a PR to fix this. I think the change would be excluding the benchmarks from packaging the pyarrow library.
