@Jefffrey -- I think ORC file support will be a substantial undertaking (for comparison, the parquet implementation took substantial effort from several contributors (including @sunchao , @nevi-me @tustvold , and others) years to get to the point where it is now . This effort included not just the coding, but also the design, testing, documentation and review. In order for the ORC implementation to be successful I think a similar order of magnitude of investment will be required. Without the appropriate level of support, this project will be frustrating for all involved (you and reviewers). Therefore, I suggest we proceed in one of two ways: 1. We find an arrow committer who is willing to invest their time to work with you to review the design, code, tests and documentation in the arrow-rs repository 2. Do the initial development of the `arrow-orc` crate in another repository with other collaborators, with less process overhead than in arrow-rsand when it has reach sufficient maturity we can propose donating it to the arrow project. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to commit to helping this implementation. Does anyone else have time to help Jefffrey implement ORC? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
