Rok Mihevc updated ARROW-4526: ------------------------------ External issue URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/21076 > [Java] Remove Netty references from ArrowBuf and move Allocator out of vector > package > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-4526 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4526 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Java > Reporter: Jacques Nadeau > Assignee: Liya Fan > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > > Arrow currently has a hard dependency on Netty and exposes this in public > APIs. This shouldn't be the case. There could be many allocator > implementations with Netty as one possible option. We should remove hard > dependency between arrow-vector and Netty, instead creating a trivial > allocator. ArrowBuf should probably expose an <T> T unwrap(Class<T> clazz) > method instead to allow inner providers availability without a hard > reference. This should also include drastically reducing the number of > methods on ArrowBuf as right now it includes every method from ByteBuf but > many of those are not very useful, appropriate. > This work should come after we do the simpler ARROW-3191 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
