+Over the last 18 months, the Apache Arrow community has been busy designing and
+implementing **Flight**, a new general-purpose client-server framework to
+simplify high performance transport of large datasets over network interfaces.
+
+Flight initially is focused on optimized transport of the Arrow columnar format
+(i.e. "Arrow record batches") over [gRPC][1], Google's popular HTTP/2-based
+general-purpose RPC library and framework. While we have focused on integration
+with gRPC, as a development framework Flight is not intended to be exclusive to
+gRPC.
+
+In the 0.15.0 Apache Arrow release, we have ready-to-use Flight implementations
+in C++ (with Python bindings) and Java. These libraries are suitable for beta
+users who are comfortable being on the bleeding edge while we continue to
Review comment:

users are already finding a bunch of value with it and it has gone through two
releases.
