Hi, I am in the process of upgrading a project from pyarrow 0.8.0 to 2.0.0. As part of this upgrade I see boost-cpp 1.63 is installed into the environment. I have a number of libraries that were linked against an older version of boost-cpp and so I would like to avoid pulling in this new version of boost-cpp.
I am generally looking for guidance on how to best handle this situation. Running ldd on the libarrow*.so's installed into our conda env I can't actually see any references to the libboost*.so's. This leads to my first question: is boost-cpp is a runtime requirement for pyarrow 2.0.0? (maybe only for certain components?) If it is a runtime requirement is there a recipe for building pyarrow/arrow-cpp with static linkings or any version of pyarrow that can be built without boost-cpp? I am open to any suggestions on how to get around the boost-cpp dependency. Thanks! Alex
