Wes McKinney commented on PARQUET-277:
--------------------------------------
[~nongli] I don't think it's possible to remove boost as a build dependency for
libparquet because of Thrift, but we should absolutely prevent boost from being
included in the public API headers. Are you comfortable reducing the scope of
this issue to that? I can take care of both this and PARQUET-446 in a single
patch. Not having to find and include Thrift and Boost in downstream projects
will help me a lot.
> Remove boost dependency

> Key: PARQUET-277

> 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.
