Having it in Arrow also will enable us to better promote it on the Python side with the pyarrow package. It will be a great addition but we will need to figure out then the problem of dealing with in-memory LLVM versions so that we don't conflict with packages like Numba. This is a problem on the Python packaging side we should address early but won't be a blocker in getting Gandiva into the Arrow repositories and infrastructure.
