Kevin Gurney created ARROW-3896: ----------------------------------- Summary: Decouple MATLAB-Arrow conversion logic from Feather file specific logic Key: ARROW-3896 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3896 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: MATLAB Reporter: Kevin Gurney Fix For: 0.13.0
Currently, the logic for converting between a MATLAB mxArray and various Arrow data structures (arrow::Table, arrow::Array, etc.) is tightly coupled and fairly tangled up with the logic specific to handling Feather files. It would be helpful to factor out these conversions into a more generic "mlarrow" conversion layer component so that it can be reused in the future for use cases other than Feather support. Furthermore, this would be helpful to enforce a cleaner separation of concerns. It would be nice to start off with this refactoring work up front before adding support for more datatypes to the MATLAB featherread/featherwrite functions, so that we can start off with a clean base upon which to expand moving forward. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
