Hi,

I looked through Arrow's docs about its formats and APIs.

But I am still somewhat confused about typical usecases of Arrow.

As in my understanding, the goal of Arrow is to eliminate the (de)serialization 
costs among different data analytic systems, since it has the common format.

But, it still needs some data conversion between Arrow format and language 
native format, right? For example, you have to convert Arrow columnar-based 
format to C++ row-based format. Or is there any usecase to directly conduct 
data analysis on Arrow's format?

Best,
Tao
