GitHub actions - testing

[JerrySievert]

I was curious if you would be interested in a contribution of a GitHub action running for tests/validation.

Hi, as such contribution is welcome.

[JerrySievert]

is there some secret to getting ci.yml to run correctly? the first issue I had was that install_arrow.sh was not executable, and now that it is, I get an error on contrib-global.mk.

my fork has a branch called add-gh-actions which adds build_and_test.yml, but it is failing on ci.yml

ideas?

The arrow library has requirements on tools such as gcc and cmake versions.
ref.) https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/docs/source/developers/cpp/building.rst
Is there any problem on these requirements?

And we did only test on CentOS and do not use latest libraries of arrow and aws-sdk-cpp.
So there could be a problem in those points.
