Hi Laszlo, I had a chance to talk with Apache Arrow PMCs[1] a couple of days ago and shared my thoughts on seeking to integrate Hive with Arrow. The timing is surprising.
Before the meetup, I looked through the only use case and didn't understand practical use cases. So, I give +1 to remove the feature. - [1] https://red-data-tools.connpass.com/event/349680/ Regards, Okumin On Mon, Apr 14, 2025 at 10:13 PM László Bodor <bodorlaszlo0...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all! > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-28904 > https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/5772 > > What do you think about removing Arrow from Hive? > > As far as I can remember, that was originally introduced for the Hive > Warehouse Connector in its early days.
