Vladimir created ARROW-7728:
-------------------------------
Summary: Duplicated binaries in the python package
Key: ARROW-7728
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7728
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.15.1
Reporter: Vladimir
Hello,
I'm not sure if it is a desired feature or not, but there's no "question" issue
type, so I'm opening it as a bug - please correct if necessary.
Most of binary files in the python "pyarrow" package are present in two
versions, e.g.:
{code:java}
libarrow.so
libarrow.so.15
{code}
or
{code:java}
libarrow.dylib
libarrow.15.dylib
{code}
(I presume, that ".15" correspond to the version of pyarrow?).
Which are actually identical:
{code:java}
$ diff libarrow.15.dylib libarrow.dylib # returns nothing
{code}
So let me ask:
- Is it necessary to have both of them in the distribution?
- Which one is actually imported, and is it safe to remove another one?
Out of 130 MB of full pyarrow, 105 MB are those binaries, so removing
duplicates would save quite some space (especially important if using pyarrow
in AWS lambdas where the function is limited in size).
