Hi again @lhoestq this is ready for review! Not sure I have permission to add people to the reviewers list...

Cool ! I think you can define `IterableDataset.from_spark` instead of adding `streaming=` in `Dataset.from_spark`, it can be more intuitive IMO :)

Thanks for reviewing! I moved the streaming behavior to IterableDataset.from_spark

Thanks Quentin! I'll flesh out the docs in a follow-up PR

Friendly ping @lhoestq 

Thanks @lhoestq ! I fixed the partition order thing and added more unit tests.
