Hi, I have implemented the ORC writer in C++ and Python here: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/8648/ <https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/8648/>
I’d like to know when will it be available in a release so that I can file a related PR in Pandas to use my ORC writer. Since it hasn’t been reviewed yet it might be too late for Arrow 3.0.0. Is the next release 4.0.0 in April? When shall I reasonably get all the enhancements e.g. the ORC-related Jira tickets I assigned to myself ready before the release? Thanks! Ying
