Hi Arrow Team, I'm using Apache Arrow with AWS Lambda Functions.
The primary motivation is AWS Athena's user-defined functions[1]. Those functions process and return Arrow IPC segments. * The published Python wheels for Apache Arrow include almost every feature of Arrow. (Gandiva, Plasma, Flight) * The 9.0.0 wheel is 32MB compressed and 107MB decompressed. Lambda functions are limited to 50MB total compressed and 250MB decompressed. * The smaller the Lambda function, the faster it runs from a cold start. Would it be possible to create a new Python package (i.e., "pyarrow-slim") that would disable some of the functionality but result in smaller python wheels? Thank you for considering this, Rusty [1] - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/querying-udf.html
