+1 (non-binding)

Thank you very much for bringing the go SDK.
I have some suggestions for your roadmap. We can first create an GraphInfo 
(Yaml) parsing system like `java-info`. Then we will discuss the technology 
stack of the file system to read and write data in parquet/orc.

For the file structure, we can refer to other apache go projects.

Thanks
