Hello everyone, I was wondering if the Apache Arrow community would be interested in featuring a two-part article series on their blog, discussing the experiences and insights gained from an experimental version of the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP) utilizing Apache Arrow. As the main author of the OTLP Arrow specification <https://github.com/lquerel/oteps/blob/main/text/0156-columnar-encoding.md>, the reference implementation otlp-arrow-adapter <https://github.com/f5/otel-arrow-adapter>, and the two articles (see links below), I believe that fostering collaboration between open-source projects like these is essential and mutually beneficial.
These articles would serve as a fitting complement to the three introductory articles that Andrew Lamb and Raphael Taylor-Davies co-authored. They delve into the practical aspects of integrating Apache Arrow into an existing project, as well as the process of converting a hierarchical data model into its Arrow representation. The first article examines various mapping techniques for aligning an existing data model with the corresponding Arrow representation, while the second article explores an adaptive schema technique that I implemented in the library's final version in greater depth. Although the second article is still under development, the core framework description is already in place. What are your thoughts on this proposal?
