-<p>The Apache Arrow project was officially established and had its
-<a
href="https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/d5aa7c46692474376a3c31704cfc4783c86338f2";>first
git commit</a>
-on February 5th 2016, and we are therefore enthusiastic to announce its 10-year
-anniversary!</p>
-<p>Looking back over these 10 years, the project has developed in many
unforeseen
-ways and we believe to have delivered on our objective of providing agnostic,
-efficient, durable standards for the exchange of columnar data.</p>
-<h2>How it started</h2>
-<p>From the start, Arrow has been a joint effort between practitioners of
various
-horizons looking to build common grounds to efficiently exchange columnar data
-between different libraries and systems.
-In <a
href="https://sympathetic.ink/2024/02/06/Chapter-2-From-Parquet-to-Arrow.html";>this
blog post</a>,
-Julien Le Dem recalls how some of the founders of the <a
href="https://parquet.apache.org/";>Apache Parquet</a>
-project participated in the early days of the Arrow design phase. The idea of
Arrow
-as an in-memory format was meant to address the other half of the
interoperability
-problem, the natural complement to Parquet as a persistent storage format.</p>
-<h2>Apache Arrow 0.1.0</h2>
-<p>The first Arrow release, numbered 0.1.0, was tagged on October 7th 2016. It
already
-featured the main data types that are still the bread-and-butter of most Arrow
datasets,
-as evidenced in this <a
href="https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/e7080ef9f1bd91505996edd4e4b7643cc54f6b5f/format/Message.fbs#L96-L115";>Flatbuffers
declaration</a>:</p>
-<div class="language-flatbuffers highlighter-rouge"><div
class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code data-lang="flatbuffers">
-/// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-/// Top-level Type value, enabling extensible type-specific metadata. We can
-/// add new logical types to Type without breaking backwards compatibility
-
-union Type {
- Null,
- Int,
- FloatingPoint,
- Binary,
- Utf8,
- Bool,
- Decimal,
- Date,
- Time,
- Timestamp,
- Interval,
- List,
- Struct_,
- Union
-}
-</code></pre></div></div>
-<p>The <a
href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/6ow4r2kq1qw1rxp36nql8gokgoczozgw";>release
announcement</a>
-made the bold claim that <strong>"the metadata and physical data
representation should
-be fairly stable as we have spent time finalizing the details"</strong>.
Does that promise
-hold? The short answer is: yes, almost! But let us analyse that in a bit more
detail:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>
-<p>the <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html";>Columnar
format</a>, for
-the most part, has only seen additions of new datatypes since 2016.
-<strong>One single breaking change</strong> occurred: Union types cannot have a
-top-level validity bitmap anymore.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>the <a
href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#serialization-and-interprocess-communication-ipc";>IPC
format</a>
-has seen several minor evolutions of its framing and metadata format; these
-evolutions are encoded in the <code>MetadataVersion</code> field which ensures
that new
-readers can read data produced by old writers. The single breaking change is
-related to the same Union validity change mentioned above.</p>
-</li>
-</ul>
-<h2>First cross-language integration tests</h2>
-<p>Arrow 0.1.0 had two implementations: C++ and Java, with bindings of the
former
-to Python. There were also no integration tests to speak of, that is, no
automated
-assessment that the two implementations were in sync (what could go
wrong?).</p>
-<p>Integration tests had to wait for <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-372";>November 2016</a>
-to be designed, and the first <a
href="https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/45ed7e7a36fb2a69de468c41132b6b3bbd270c92";>automated
CI run</a>
-probably occurred in December of the same year. Its results cannot be fetched
anymore,
-so we can only assume the tests passed successfully. 🙂</p>
-<p>From that moment, integration tests have grown to follow additions to the
Arrow format,
-while ensuring that older data can still be read successfully. For example,
the
-integration tests that are routinely checked against multiple implementations
of
-Arrow have data files <a
href="https://github.com/apache/arrow-testing/tree/master/data/arrow-ipc-stream/integration/0.14.1";>generated
in 2019 by Arrow 0.14.1</a>.</p>
-<h2>No breaking changes... almost</h2>
-<p>As mentioned above, at some point the Union type lost its top-level
validity bitmap,
-breaking compatibility for the workloads that made use of this feature.</p>
-<p>This change was <a
href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/przo99rtpv4rp66g1h4gn0zyxdq56m27";>proposed
back in June 2020</a>
-and enacted shortly thereafter. It elicited no controversy and doesn't seem to
have
-caused any significant discontent among users, signaling that the feature was
-probably not widely used (if at all).</p>
-<p>Since then, there has been precisely zero breaking change in the Arrow
Columnar and IPC
-formats.</p>
-<h2>Apache Arrow 1.0.0</h2>
-<p>We have been extremely cautious with version numbering and waited
-<a href="https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2020/07/24/1.0.0-release/";>until July
2020</a>
-before finally switching away from 0.x version numbers. This was signalling
-to the world that Arrow had reached its "adult phase" of making
formal compatibility
-promises, and that the Arrow formats were ready for wide consumption amongst
-the data ecosystem.</p>
-<h2>Apache Arrow, today</h2>
-<p>Describing the breadth of the Arrow ecosystem today would take a
full-fledged
-article of its own, or perhaps even multiple Wikipedia pages. Our
-<a href="https://arrow.apache.org/powered_by/";>"powered by"</a> page
can give a small taste.</p>
-<p>As for the Arrow project, we will merely refer you to our official
documentation:</p>
-<ol>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/index.html#";>The various
specifications</a>
-that cater to multiple aspects of sharing Arrow data, such as
-<a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CDataInterface.html";>in-process
zero-copy sharing</a>
-between producers and consumers that know nothing about each other, or
-<a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/ADBC.html";>executing database
queries</a>
-that efficiently return their results in the Arrow format.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/status.html";>The implementation
status page</a>
-that lists the implementations developed officially under the Apache Arrow
-umbrella (native software libraries for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript,
-Julia, MATLAB, Python, R, Ruby, and Rust). But keep in mind that multiple
-third-party implementations exist in non-Apache projects, either open source
-or proprietary.</p>
-</li>
-</ol>
-<p>However, that is only a small part of the landscape. The Arrow project hosts
-several official subprojects, such as <a
href="https://arrow.apache.org/adbc";>ADBC</a>
-and <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/nanoarrow";>nanoarrow</a>. A notable
success story is
-<a href="https://datafusion.apache.org/";>Apache DataFusion</a>, which began as
an Arrow
-subproject and later <a
href="https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2024/05/07/datafusion-tlp";>graduated to
become an independent top-level project</a>
-in the Apache Software Foundation, reflecting the maturity and impact of the
technology.</p>
-<p>Beyond these subprojects, many third-party efforts have adopted the Arrow
formats
-for efficient interoperability. <a href="https://geoarrow.org/";>GeoArrow</a>
is an impressive
-example of how building on top of existing Arrow formats and implementations
can
-enable groundbreaking efficiency improvements in a very non-trivial problem
space.</p>
-<p>It should also be noted that Arrow, as an in-memory columnar format, is
often used
-hand in hand with Parquet for persistent storage; as a matter of fact, most
official
-Parquet implementations are nowadays being developed within Arrow repositories
-(C++, Rust, Go).</p>
-<h2>Tomorrow</h2>
-<p>The Apache Arrow community is primarily driven by consensus, and the
project does
-not have a formal roadmap. We will continue to welcome everyone who wishes to
-participate constructively. While the specifications are stable, they still
-welcome additions to cater for new use cases, as they have done in the
past.</p>
-<p>The Arrow implementations are actively maintained, gaining new features,
bug fixes,
-and performance improvements. We encourage people to contribute to their
implementation
-of choice, and to <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/community/";>engage with us
and the community</a>.</p>
-<p>Now and going forward, a large amount of Arrow-related progress is happening
-in the broader ecosystem of third-party tools and libraries. It is no longer
-possible for us to keep track of all the work being done in those areas, but
-we are proud to see that they are building on the same stable foundations that
-have been laid 10 years
ago.</p>]]></content><author><name>pmc</name></author><category term="arrow"
