Functional and Performance testing has been completed with Dremio. We have seen overall improvement in TPCH numbers. We had about 8000 regression tests and 12000 unit tests.
I would like to start the process of merging java-vector-refactor branch into master. The branch has 2 patches with 95% of code changes and a third patch will be available in couple of hours -- minor bug fixes needed as part of testing in Dremio. I would also like to request to not merge any orthogonal set of changes to refactor branch at this point. It will require grabbing changes again, and testing downstream and thus increase the timeline of merging this into master. It is become slightly difficult to maintain local branches with such volume of changes and work across patches. Follow-up items in the order of priority: - buffer consolidation (sooner but probably not this Arrow release) -- possibly the highest priority item in the effort to reduce heap usage. This was touched upon in design spec but it wasn't feasible to squeeze it into the work already done on refactor branch. - fate of non-nullable fixed and var width vectors Thanks, Siddharth
