Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-5510:
-------------------------------------
I started looking at this. As preliminaries I'm thinking about how to compress
individual buffers in RecordBatch message bodies in the least invasive way
> [Format] Feather V2
> -------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-5510
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5510
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Format
> Reporter: Neal Richardson
> Assignee: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
>
> The initial Feather file format is a minimal subset of the Arrow IPC format.
> It has a number of limitations (see
> [https://wesmckinney.com/blog/feather-arrow-future/]).
> We want to retain "feather" as the name of the on-disk representation of
> Arrow memory, so in order to support everything that Arrow supports, we need
> a "feather 2.0" format.
> IIUC, defining the file format is "done" (dump the memory to disk). Remaining
> issues include upgrading "feather" readers and writers in all languages to
> support both feather 1.0 and feather 2.0. (e.g.
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5501)
