Apache Arrow is Eating the World.
... the data world
About three years ago, over on my other long-running blog, I wrote about Apache Arrow, that silent but mighty tool that is swallowing up the Data Landscape one bite at a time.
I figured it’s due time I again tip my hat to that great Oz hidden behind the digital curtain.
It’s hard to even know where to start with Arrow; it’s so ubiquitous and has infiltrated just about every Data Engineering framework built in the last 5 years+.
I very much doubt I can do Arrow any real justice, but I will give it a try. Come along for the ride, my friend. My goals are simple, I hope you come away with …
a new respect for Apache Arrow
knowledge of where all Arrow is used
a curiosity to use Apache Arrow yourself
This is where the road lies before us, with lots of twists and turns. I don’t know where exactly we are going or how we will get there, but we can trust it will all work itself out in the end. Let’s get to it shall we?
