   I agree with @alamb that we could really benefit from having someone to 
actively drive ballista.
   
   Even though I mentioned in my dev list email that ballista introduces extra 
overhead, I think it acted as a good forcing function for us to design 
datafusion changes with serailization in mind as you mentioned. For example, It 
triggered a lot of good discussions around object store serialization in 
@rdettai 's recent refactoring. If we decided that the overhead is not worth it 
later, we can just make ballista depend on datafusion by published crate 
version instead of path so it's less decoupled from datafusion code change. I 
think this should address all the overhead concerns. I don't think we need to 
do this right now though.
   
   I think it's best for us to come back to the discuss of moving ballista out 
of datafusion when it gets significant momentum.
