The release is available now from [2], release notes are available at [3], and a blot post documenting new contributions is available at [4]. What is Apache Arrow? --------------------- Apache Arrow is a columnar in-memory analytics layer designed to accelerate big data. It houses a set of canonical in-memory representations of flat and hierarchical data along with multiple language-bindings for structure manipulation. It also provides low-overhead streaming and batch messaging, zero-copy interprocess communication (IPC), and vectorized in-memory analytics libraries. Languages currently supported include C, C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Julia, MATLAB, Python, R, Ruby, and Rust. What is Apache Arrow nanoarrow? -------------------------- Apache Arrow nanoarrow is a small C library for building and interpreting Arrow C Data interface structures with bindings for users of the R programming language. The vision of nanoarrow is that it should be trivial for a library or application to implement an Arrow-based interface. The library provides helpers to create types, schemas, and metadata, an API for building arrays element-wise, and an API to extract elements element-wise from an array. For a more detailed description of the features nanoarrow provides and motivation for its development, see [3]. Please report any feedback to the mailing lists ([4], [5]).
