Parquet is a way to store data in a columnar representation on disk. HDFS is a distributed way to read and write streams of data on physical media. Arrow is (amongst other things) a way to structure data in memory for high speed processing and deals with records, fields and datatypes. Tachyon is distributed way to read and write streams of data in-memory. There is a great opportunity to integrate Tachyon and Arrow as they are very complimentary. Being able to share Arrow representations through a shared in-memory storage system would be helpful to many applications.
