hi folks, There are a number of Java-related patches in flight that are going to need some TLC from folks with deeper experience using the affected code in downstream projects:
Union changes + integration tests: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/987 Decimal type improvements + integration test support: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/994 Fixed size binary + integration tests: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1012 It would be really super to get 3 more logical types fully integration tested against C++ in 0.7.0. This additionally would allow Spark to send Decimal data to Python via C++. Getting these done would get us closer to complete integration coverage. Still some things left to do (intervals, fixed size lists). thanks, Wes On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 10:03 AM, Wes McKinney <wesmck...@gmail.com> wrote: > hello again, > > There is still a lot of work to do for 0.7.0.
