Hello,

Seeing this mail thread pop up in my search filter I want to give some insights 
as one of the Arrow PMCs.

I have not yet heard of anyone currently working on Cassandra + Arrow. This 
would definitely be a great combination to better support performant clients 
that send/receive larger chunks of data to/from Cassandra. This has really 
worked well in the past with PySpark/Scala-Spark, Pandas & ODBC, .. If there 
are any efforts in the Cassandra ecosystem, please reach out to me. I'm happy 
to give guidance on that topic.

The mention of Cassandra in the diagram on the landing page of Arrow is there 
for historical reasons. It would be nice to have this integration one day but 
as mentioned above, this is not there yet. Either we will have that in future 
or we will replace with another integration that really exists (I would like to 
see the former).

Cheers
Uwe
