Dear all, The developers of
https://github.com/sunchao/parquet-rs have been in touch with Apache Arrow and Apache Parquet. Based on mailing list discussions, it is being proposed to donate this Parquet Rust implementation into the Apache Arrow codebase in order to develop it together with the Arrow Rust implementation, for similar reasons that we are co-developing the Arrow and Parquet C++ implementations. Some of the same developers are involved in both projects. See https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/3050 It remains to be determined if the Parquet PMC will choose to make separate Rust Parquet releases. This action does not close off that path, and is more about helping the Rust developers to be productive working on these projects. Parquet had previously voted to accept the code donation, but the effort stalled out earlier this year (in part due to my lack of bandwidth, since I had been offering to help steward the donation there). This vote is to determine if the Arrow PMC is in favor of accepting this donation. If the vote passes, the PMC and the authors of the code will work together to complete the ASF IP Clearance process (http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/) and import the Rust implementation into the Arrow codebase. [ ] +1 : Accept contribution of Rust implementation [ ] 0 : No opinion [ ] -1 : Reject contribution because... Here is my vote: +1 The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Thanks, Wes
