Brian Hulette commented on ARROW-3302:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for pointing this out [~domoritz]. I knew we had a lot of dependencies
but not having done a fresh install in a while, I didn't realize how long that
first run could take. It looks like there's probably some low-hanging fruit
here, e.g. removing `lint-staged`, which doesn't seem to even be used, drops
the total size of node_modules from 445M to 422M. I'll see what else I can find

> Key: ARROW-3302

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: JavaScript
> Reporter: Dominik Moritz
> Priority: Major
> Labels: refactoring
>
> I installed the dependencies for arrow js today and it took 10 minutes (5
> minutes the for the second run) with npm and less than one minute with yarn
> (I think there is an argument for using yarn instead of npm). Arrow js has
> 2792 dependencies right now. Installation takes very long but there is also
> some danger that the library will be hard to maintain in the future with this
> many dependencies.
