------------------------------------
Summary: Make it possible to compile Arrow with header-only boost
Key: ARROW-954
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-954
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++
Reporter: Philipp Moritz
For certain build environments, it can be beneficial to have a version of arrow
that only depends on boost headers:
- It is less brittle in terms of supporting different build environments than
dynamically or statically linked boost libraries; also it might make it easier
to integrate with an in-tree boost in the future.
- Especially if dynamically linked boost libraries need to be avoided, but the
resulting binary is compiled as a shared library python extension, statically
linking boost is not an option (many distributions distribute boost static
libraries that were compiled without -fPIC)
We should therefore have a flag that makes arrow compile with a header-only
boost. This comes at the cost of not supporting the HDFS bridge.
