--------------------------------
Summary: [Docs] Clarify that C data interface is not strictly for
within a single process
Key: ARROW-17589
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17589
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 9.0.0
Reporter: Ian Cook
Assignee: Ian Cook
Fix For: 10.0.0
The Arrow C data interface and C stream interface docs say that these
interfaces are only for sharing data within a single process. This is not
exactly correct. The fundamental requirement for using the C data interface and
C stream interface is not that the components be necessarily running in the
same process. It’s that they are able to pass around a pointer and access the
same memory address space. Let's make some minor changes to the docs to clarify
this.
