Neal Richardson created ARROW-5510: -------------------------------------- Summary: [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 Fix For: 0.14.0
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.
