Follow on to https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/10395 My (personal) North ⭐ : 1000 projects are built using DataFusion 📈 **It would be great for other contributors to DataFusion who plan non trivial work could try to make them visible somehow as well** 🙏 (feel free to copy / modify the format) ## My Highlights from Last Week * @berkaysynnada and @ozankabak https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10404 * https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/10217 (our first release as a Top Level Project) * @yyy1000 and @jayzhan211 are starting to move aggregate functions out of the core https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10418 * @jayzhan211 figured out an elegant way to express special case coercion rules: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10439 * @lewiszlw is simplifying the internal APIs: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10325 and https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10441 🦾 * @erratic-pattern found some great low hanging fruit https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10454 * @peter-toth and @MohamedAbdeen21 made great progress on improving CSE: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/10396 ## Looking for help * Someone to help @timsaucer with https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/6747 (there is a [draft PR](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/6746) as hit this last week working with window functions ## My (personal) plans for this week TLDR is I plan to try and complete work on making the optimizer faster and switch to focusing on making parquet better - [ ] Complete removing copies to make planning faster: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/9637 (we are close) - [ ] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-2470 - [ ] Document `ParquetExec` more (so it is clear / easier to understand what is already supported) - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/9929 (likely not this week) ## Project Queue (list of future projects) - [ ] Get https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/5619 merged (which I think will help StringViewArray implementation along) - [ ] In general, help https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/5374 more actively as it seems to be stuck ## Projects I plan to help actively help review / plan - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/5374 (I am struggling to find time, but we are making progress, slowly) - [ ] https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/9494 # Algorithm for (my) prioritizing PR reviews Note there are many [committers](https://projects.apache.org/committee.html?datafusion) who can and do review and merge PRs, so this is not the priorities of the project as a whole, just the approximate algorithm I use to prioritize my own time. Priority: 1. Bug fixes (where something is just incorrect), especially regressions (where it used to work and now does not) 2. Improvements directly related to features needed for InfluxDB (my employer) 3. Documentation and test improvements (I view these as very strategically important) 4. PRs that I think are strategically important 5. Other new features / additions to functionality (note this is the lowest) The top strategically important projects in my head are: * Anything that makes it easier to use DataFusion as a user (docs, examples, better APIs, etc), including [Getting started guide for new users (who want to use DataFusion in their project) ](https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/7014) * Anything that improves DataFusion's quality such as bug fixes, and improved / expanded tests, etc * Making function packages modular and easier to mix/match * Improved performance (with benchmarks) Thus, if you are interested in contributing to DataFusion and are interested in a fast turn around time I would recommend looking into bug fixes / test improvements / documentation or the projects named above. If you propose adding new functionality, especially if the PR is large/complex and not connected to a wider need, the review cycle will likely be longer. You can make it a shorter cycle by looking at the comments on other recent PRs and following the same model (e.g. ensure there are tests in sqllogictest for example, the CI passes, includes documentation, etc) ## Background The idea of this ticket is make my plans for DataFusion visible, largely for my own personal organizational needs, but also to: 1. Communicate / coordinate in the community 2. Help provide an interesting summary of what is happening in DataFusion this week -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
