hi Nick, I would strongly encourage you to focus your energies on supporting the general Arrow streaming and file formats as described in http://arrow.apache.org/docs/ipc.html. It's fine to support Feather, so long as you restrict yourself to the API defined in https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob

Uwe and Joris, I work for MathWorks. We plan to contribute Feather read/write capability in the near future. Interesting idea about MATLAB and Arrow. We’ll take a look as well. Thanks -Nick On 2/14/18, 3:39 AM, "Joris Peeters" wrote: Yeah, pinging Mathworks might be worth it. It feels

Yeah, pinging Mathworks might be worth it. It feels like this is something that could be of great value to them. Aside from HDF5 & mat files (both on disk), it can be really tedious to efficiently share data from anywhere with MATLAB, so it's becoming increasingly isolated. I'm going to play around

The MathWorks is in the process of starting to contribute. I spoke with them a couple weeks ago about this and they were excited about it. I can ping them to see if they are still interested. On Tue, Feb 13, 2018, 09:24 Uwe L. Korn wrote: > Hello Joris, > > this is only due to lack of someone do

Hello Joris, this is only due to lack of someone doing it and probably due to lack of people that have the experience to do that. I had a short look at Matlab's C++ API and the interfaces seem to be promising enough https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab-data-array.html that once someone

Arrow for MATLAB?

2018-02-13 Thread Joris Peeters
Hello, Is anyone aware of plans (or concrete projects) to add MATLAB bindings for Arrow? I'm interested in exchanging data between Java, Python, ..., and MATLAB - and Arrow sounds like a great solution. I couldn't find any pre-existing effort, though, so curious if that is due to a lack of intere
