Kalon Mills commented on PARQUET-277:
-------------------------------------
I don't think we can remove the boost dependency entirely as we depend on
thrift. Thrift still requires boost even in the most recent release. It looks
like they have a issue tracking c\+\+11 conversion but that it isn't a top
priority for core developers,
[THRIFT-2242|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2242].
However, I agree that the parquet-cpp library proper would do well to replace
as much boost with c\+\+11 as possible. I too think it would make the library
much nicer.

> At a glance, parquet-cpp slightly uses boost dependency. It seems to be
> possible to remove boost dependency if we use C++11 feature.
> If we remove boost dependency, parquet-cpp can be more portable and
> lightweight. Also, C\+\+11 would allow us to modernize C++ codes.
