Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.
#982 added convenience functions to use a global context for operations like read_parquet and others. It would be good to expose the global context to make it easier for users to register functions with it.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Rename
_global_ctxtoglobal_ctx. - Add global context to python wrapper code
- Add unit tests
- Add user documentation
Describe alternatives you've considered
We can leave as is.
Additional context
It is worth considering if there are other common user functions that would benefit from the same treatment as the file readers. If so, we could open new issues for them
