**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_ctx` to `global_ctx`. - Expose to python - 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 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
