Hi Neal, I've pruned the Rust backlog a bit, but only changed PRs that I've either opened, or those that I presume nobody is currently working on.
There's 2 major features I've been working on: 1. Writing Arrow data to Parquet (separate branch) 2. Integration testing I'll prioritise 2 as that's on the main branch, and we're nearly there. However, with the arrow parquet writer, I'd like to ask the Rust developers if we will want to release the WIP support with 2.0.0, or if we hold back and keep chipping away from a separate branch. There's been a new contributor who's offered to help with the writer, so I think I'll be able to make more progress with her.
