Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-5474:
---------------------------------------
AFAIU, Boost is a fast moving library (I'm not sure they guarantee API
stability?), so IMO it makes sense to require a recent version.
> [C++] What version of Boost do we require now?
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-5474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5474
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Neal Richardson
> Assignee: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.14.0
>
>
> See debugging on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5470. One
> possible cause for that error is that the local filesystem patch increased
> the version of boost that we actually require. The boost version (1.54 vs
> 1.58) was one difference between failure and success.
> Another point of confusion was that CMake reported two different versions of
> boost at different times.
> If we require a minimum version of boost, can we document that better, check
> for it more accurately in the build scripts, and fail with a useful message
> if that minimum isn't met? Or something else helpful.
> If the actual cause of the failure was something else (e.g. compiler
> version), we should figure that out too.
