Kevin Gurney created ARROW-3896:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Decouple MATLAB-Arrow conversion logic from Feather file
specific logic
Key: ARROW-3896
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3896
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: MATLAB
Reporter: Kevin Gurney
Fix For: 0.13.0
Currently, the logic for converting between a MATLAB mxArray and various Arrow
data structures (arrow::Table, arrow::Array, etc.) is tightly coupled and
fairly tangled up with the logic specific to handling Feather files. It would
be helpful to factor out these conversions into a more generic "mlarrow"
conversion layer component so that it can be reused in the future for use cases
other than Feather support. Furthermore, this would be helpful to enforce a
cleaner separation of concerns.
It would be nice to start off with this refactoring work up front before adding
support for more datatypes to the MATLAB featherread/featherwrite functions, so
that we can start off with a clean base upon which to expand moving forward.
