hi Uwe, Absent an obvious ASF project to move the code to (I'm intrigued by the idea of an "Apache C++ common" project, much in the way that Boost became a sprawling library ecosystem of sorts), there may not be a clear incentive the split the code out if Arrow is the primary consumer. Particularly since a major goal of Arrow early on is to facilitate faster IO between systems (even if they don't use the Arrow data structures as their primary ones).
I'm working on a patch for talking to HDFS (with libhdfs) -- I figure we'll start there and see how things go. - Wes On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 7:01 AM, Uwe Korn <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Wes, > > the concept sounds sensible and really useful. > > Probably the implementation will reside in the beginning fully inside of > Arrow but do you plan to split it up into a separate package later on? > > Cheers > Uwe >
