> (We may want to add "zero-copy" as a columnar format modifier.) I agree that it's important to highlight the fact that Arrow can enable zero-copy data interchange. But it might be difficult to incorporate "zero-copy" into this succinct description in a way that is accurate. Many successful applications of Arrow for data interchange are not truly "zero-copy"; instead they _minimize_ the number of copies made while eliminating slow and computationally expensive data serialization/deserialization and transposition steps. But that's too many words to say in a succinct description. So I think we might be better off explaining this in other text below the description (which we already do to some extent, although maybe it could be improved). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
