Hi Nicki, 1. I'm currently working on the char/string support for C++. I've been a little bit backlogged on it. If I don't make substantial progress this weekend, I'm happy to relinquish the task.
2. I'll let someone more knowledgable about the java implementation chime in, but I think the answer is a qualified yes. We were just talking about trying to make the first integration test that proves C++/Java compatibility [1] 3. Yes it is easy to become a contributor. The general workflow is to chime in on jira item [2] (or someone on the PMC? can make you a contributor so you can assign a ticket to yourself), and submit a pull request via github with "ARROW-<JIRA-NUMBER>:" as the start of the pull request title. In addition to the items mentioned below there is a pretty substantial backlog of items to work on if you are interested in contributing generally. Thanks, Micah [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/arrow-dev/201605.mbox/%3CCAK7Z5T8X2OiWfSoQ0S-3vu0D4zgkuAO-SD_Q%3DF2Pu%3D4GhaTFbQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:issues-panel On Fri, May 27, 2016 at 7:35 AM, Nicole Nemer <nicole.ne...@rms.com> wrote: > > 1. does cpp/ipc support char/string types?
