hi Jacques, I would mention there's been a significant synergy between C++ efforts in Apache Parquet to build a bridge between the projects (which will be a nice proof-of-concept of the benefits of the common in-memory columnar layer). Uwe Korn has been really active here with 33 commits to Parquet and 21 to Arrow.
Micah Kornfield has been contributing significant to the reification process of the specs and IPC / memory sharing procedure. We should prioritize assembling a more fully formed first-cut metadata spec and getting rudimentary integration tests working between the Java and C++ implementations before we make a release. - Wes On Sun, Jul 10, 2016 at 10:00 PM, Jacques Nadeau <jacq...@apache.org> wrote: > Hello All, > > Can I get some feedback and additional details to add to the Arrow Board > Report.
