Research direction

Start by comparing PyArrow's CMakeLists detection of ccache with the existing C++ CMake setup that detects sccache. Verify the resulting configuration in a Python Crossbow build; done means sccache is detected and can cache PyArrow's C++ compilation steps.

Description

Component: Continuous Integration Component: Python Type: enhancement
Describe the enhancement requested

PyArrow's cmake setup should detect sccache just like the C++ one does.

This would make some Python Crossbow builds slightly faster by caching the results of PyArrow's C++ compilation steps.
