**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** I've noticed from various discussions that Ballista is adding some (considerable?) overhead to the development of DataFusion and it doesn't look like there is much Ballista-specific development happening. Also, the integration tests do not currently appear to be working (https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/1272). Does it still make sense to continue maintaining Ballista here? I am unable to contribute to Ballista myself at the moment and I don't think the project has reached sufficient momentum for others to be motivated to continue driving it forward, although I haven't been following closely and may have missed some discussions. The benefits of having Ballista in the codebase are, in my opinion: - It helps keep physical plans serializable - It helps test some of the extension points - It serves as an advanced example for using DataFusion in a distributed context What do others think? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
