Micah Kornfield commented on ARROW-1669:
----------------------------------------
I think individual backports make sense for the time being. Ideally, we're
getting closer to the point where we can use a more modern C++ standard which
makes absl less valuable. My other concern which looking at the code isn't a
concern yet, is if absl ever open sources Google's Status object, it would make
our code more complicated.
> [C++] Consider adding Abseil (Google C++11 standard library extensions) to
> toolchain

> Google has released a library of C++11-compliant extensions to the STL that
> may help make a lot of Arrow code simpler:
> https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/
> This code is not header-only and so would require some effort to add to the
> toolchain at the moment since it only supports the Bazel build system
