Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-249:
------------------------------------
Agreed. I do not know enough about GRPC to know how much protobuf overhead
there is on receipt. If this returns a buffer of bytes in the deserialized
protobuf then this can be accessed via Flatbuffers with zero copy.
> [Format] Define GRPC IDL / wire protocol for messaging with Arrow data

> In addition to memory maps / shared memory, we should be able to assemble one
> or more Arrow arrays in a memory block suitable for sending over the wire
> with GRPC (http://www.grpc.io/). This can be similarly adapted to other
> messaging / RPC frameworks.
> We can continue to use Flatbuffers for the metadata serialization.
