Wes McKinney commented on PARQUET-267:
--------------------------------------

I have a patch out to build a subset of the packages in the native-toolchain; 
you might have some thoughts: 
https://github.com/cloudera/native-toolchain/pull/8. Basically looking for the 
equivalent of requirements.txt (for pip) for C++ development.

We should definitely add instructions for using a custom toolchain like the 
native-toolchain. Personally, I'm going to have 3 projects sharing a common 
toolchain:

- parquet-cpp
- arrow (In-memory columnar data structures — under proposal for ASF)
- Python wrapper layer for arrow + parquet (and other libraries)

> Detach thirdparty code from build configuration.

> The existing repo has source code for third party dependencies checked into 
> the repo.  The build system expects those dependencies in a certain place.  
> This enforces that the built library conform to those exact dependencies 
> without customization.
> Managing third party dependencies is better handled through a build 
> environment.  It allows the library builder more flexibility over dependency 
> versions and locations.  It also cleans up the repo from this third party 
> code.
