Description

https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r3bcee82bfbfaa77f5180e064b6bd9d2fe2fb5b36fb0f571b08ad6fac%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E

We require CMake 3.2 or later. Can we require more newer
CMake? I don't to want to add workaround for CMake 3.2 like
this:

https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/cmake_modules/Findre2Alt.cmake#L78-L79

  # CMake 3.2 does uppercase the FOUND variable
  if(re2Alt_FOUND OR RE2ALT_FOUND)


Ubuntu 16.04 ships CMake 3.5.1:

  https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=cmake

CentOS 7 doesn't ship CMake 3 but EPEL provides CMake 3.17:

  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cmake3/blob/epel7/f/cmake3.spec


Can we require CMake 3.5 or later?
