+We have been implementing a series of optimizations in the Apache Parquet C++
+internals to improve read and write efficiency (both performance and memory
+use) for Arrow columnar binary and string types, including native support for
+Arrow's dictionary types. This should have a big impact on users of the C++,
+MATLAB, Python, R, and Ruby interfaces to Parquet files.
+
+We discuss the work that was done and show benchmarks comparing Arrow 0.11.0
