   > My personal opinion is that Ballista makes sense to be part of DataFusion. 
It may potentially affect (and depend on) many things such as partition 
strategy, join strategy, planner, etc. I recognize there might be some overhead 
in development, maybe this is an opportunity for us to define some APIs to make 
it easier. @alamb @houqp Do you guys think this is reasonable?
   
   I think this is very reasonable. I view `datafusion` as a single node, 
sharable query engine that isn't really designed to be used by itself -- rather 
it can be used to create systems such as ballista (and [other 
projects](https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion#known-uses))
   
   Having ballista in the same repo as a way to validate datafusion API changes 
seems valuable to me 👍  and I am happy to have some minor extra overhead on 
DataFusion API changes. What I really want to see is Ballista actively used / 
driven forward by the community, which it sounds like @realno  is preparing to 
propose.
