hi Andrew, Are you talking about writing a stream to shared memory? There are not functions in the Arrow Java library to do this out of the box. This would be a great contribution to make to the project: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-721
If you create an OutputStream that writes to shared memory, you can use the existing stream serialization tools. In C++ the functions to read a stream or read a single record batch are contained in https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/ipc/reader.h. In C++ you can use the Plasma store for writing to POSIX shared memory. I would like to see some generic named POSIX shared memory tools get developed that are independent of Plasma, though: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1385 Thanks Wes On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 6:24 PM, Andrew Pham (BLOOMBERG/ 731 LEX) <apha...@bloomberg.net> wrote: > The receiver/reader would be a C++ process. > > I'm looking for simple examples that illustrate this IPC.
