Hi all, I would like to propose a new Table data structure for Arrow Java that is similar to the existing VectorSchemaRoot, but has:
- more table functionality (e.g. row-oriented operations) - a simpler and more general mutability API It lacks VectorSchemaRoot's buffer-like qualities, making it more like the common understanding of a table. The hope is that it would compliment VectorSchemaRoot, with one used for batch/pipeline work, and the other a standard 'table' A Google Doc describing the proposal can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J77irZFWNnSID7vK71z26Nw_Pi99I9Hb9iryno8B03c/edit?usp=sharing All comments are welcome. Best, larry
