+# Introduction
+The Apache Arrow PMC is pleased to announce the donation of the [Comet
project],
+a native Spark SQL Accelerator built on [Apache Arrow DataFusion].
+
+Comet is an Apache Spark plugin that uses Apache Arrow DataFusion to
+accelerate Spark workloads. It is designed as a drop-in
+replacement for Spark's JVM based SQL execution engine and offers significant
+performance improvements for some workloads as shown below.

+
+**Figure 1**: With Comet, users interact with the same Spark ecosystem, tools
+and APIs such as Spark SQL. Queries still run through Spark's mature and
feature
+rich query optimizer and planner. However, the execution is delegated to Comet,
+which is significantly faster and more resource efficient than the JVM based
+implementation.
Review Comment:
I defer to @sunchao / @viirya or one of the other comet authors for this.
Maybe it would be a good topic to address in the initial release blog
