-----------------------------------------------

[~hongyuguo], I have left a (partial) review, there is enough to be looked at 
already I feel, I will finish the review sometime next week.

> Create adapter for Apache Arrow

> Create an adapter for [Apache Arrow|http://arrow.apache.org/]. This would 
> allow people to execute SQL statements, via JDBC or ODBC, on data stored in 
> Arrow in-memory format.
> Since Arrow is an in-memory format, it is not as straightforward as reading, 
> say, CSV files using the file adapter: an Arrow data set does not have a URL. 
> (Unless we use Arrow's 
> [Feather|https://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2016/03/feather-a-fast-on-disk-format-for-data-frames-for-r-and-python-powered-by-apache-arrow/]
>  format, or use an in-memory file system such as Alluxio.) So we would need 
> to devise a way of addressing Arrow data sets.
> Also, since Arrow is an extremely efficient format for processing data, it 
> would also be good to have Arrow as a calling convention. That is, 
> implementations of relational operators such as Filter, Project, Aggregate in 
> addition to just TableScan.
> Lastly, when we have an Arrow convention, if we build adapters for file 
> formats (for instance the bioinformatics formats SAM, VCF, FASTQ discussed in 
> CALCITE-2025) it would make a lot of sense to translate those formats 
> directly into Arrow (applying simple projects and filters first if 
> applicable). Those adapters would belong as a "contrib" module in the Arrow 
> project better than in Calcite.
