Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-452:
------------------------------------
[~jlafaye] there is no "compete" -- you should think of Feather as a "poor
man's Arrow"; it implements a subset of Arrow but is very limited. This is a
true merging of implementations, which the intent of eventually deprecating the
more limited Feather file format and moving Python/R users to use the more
general Arrow file format. Performance with the current Feather format will be
much higher for Python because the integration with pandas has gotten
considerably more development in Arrow in the last few months
