Hello,
This is a vote about the informal deprecation of Tensor and SparseTensor
messages in the IPC protocol. This was previously discussed in
https://lists.apache.org/thread/z2kl4g1353mbtgpt3qo7j3bzohq0q7fv
Here is the proposal:
1) informally deprecate Tensor and SparseTensor-related IPC messages in
the IPC protocol description and the IPC Flatbuffers definitions
(the Flatbuffers deprecation mechanism is *not* used for now because it
would break existing usage:
https://flatbuffers.dev/evolution/#removal)
2) encourage Arrow implementations to deprecate (and possibly remove)
APIs for reading and writing Tensor / SparseTensor metadata and data
using the IPC protocol.
The vote will be open for at least 72 hours.
[ ] +1 to the proposal
[ ] +0
[ ] -1 to the proposal because ...
Regards
Antoine.
