I think, and James mentioned this in the PR as well, that Drill could benefit from the continues progress, the Arrow project has made since its separation from Drill. And the arrow Community seems to be large, so i assume this goes on and on with improvements, new features, etc. but i have not enough experience in Drill internals to have an Idea in which mass of refactoring this would lead. In addition to that, im not aware of the current roadmap of Arrow and if these would fit into Drills roadmap. Maybe Arrow would go into a different direction than Drill and what should we do, if Drill is bound to Arrow then? On the other hand, Arrow could help Drill to a wider adoption with clients like pyarrow, arrow-flight, various other programming languages etc. and (im not sure about that) maybe its a performance benefit if Drill use Arrow to read Data from HDFS(example), useses Arrow to work with it during execution and gives the vectors directly to my Python(example) programm via arrow-flight so that i can Play around with Pandas, etc. Just some thoughts i have since i have used Dremio with pyarrow and Drill with odbc connections.
