alamb opened a new issue #146: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/146
*Note*: migrated from original JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11214 As we expand the numbers of functions available in DataFusion, DataFusion will likely pick up additional third-party dependencies. In general, I think it would be a nice feature for DataFusion to allow users more fine grained control over the features that they wanted to use (and pay the subsequently higher compilation / link time (and binary size) cost. At the moment, with a single codebase and no feature flags, everyone's compile time and binary size will increase even if they don't use a specific set of features. It seems to me like we might want to start offering a way to keep the number of required dependencies of DataFusion down. For example, in the case of https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9139, we could potentially put the use of crypto functions behind a feature flag. Users of DataFusion could then pick a subset of features like "core" and "func-datetime" and "func-crypto" to have more control over the dependencies they pulled in -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
