-        The purpose of this method is to validate that the Dataset object
-        meets the minimal requirements for efficient NVTabular processing.
-        For now, this criteria requires the data to be in parquet format.
-
-        Example Usage::
-
-            dataset = Dataset("/path/to/data_pq", engine="parquet")
-            assert validate_dataset(dataset)
-
-        Parameters
-        -----------
-        **kwargs :
-            Key-word arguments to pass down to the engine's validate_dataset
-            method. For the recommended parquet format, these arguments
-            include `add_metadata_file`, `row_group_max_size`, `file_min_size`,
-            and `require_metadata_file`. For more information, see
-            `ParquetDatasetEngine.validate_dataset`.
-
-        Returns
-        -------
-        valid : bool
-            `True` if the input dataset is valid for efficient NVTabular
-            processing.

-        output_format : string, optional

-        compute : bool, optional
