Hi, Sorry for the delay. This is a continuation of the "Status of Arrow Julia implementation?" thread:
https://lists.apache.org/x/thread.html/r6d91286686d92837fbe21dd042801a57e3a7b00b5903ea90a754ac7b%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E I summarize the current status, the next actions and items to be discussed. The current status: * The Julia Arrow implementation uses https://github.com/JuliaData/Arrow.jl as a "dev branch" instead of creating a branch in https://github.com/apache/arrow * The Julia Arrow implementation wants to use GitHub for the main issue management platform * The Julia Arrow implementation wants to release more frequency than 1 release per 3-4 months * The current workflow of the Rust Arrow implementation will also fit the Julia Arrow implementation The current workflow of the Rust Arrow implementation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TyrUP8_UWXqk97a8Hvb1d0UYWigch0HAephIjW7soSI/edit#heading=h.kv1hwbhi3cmi * Uses apache/arrow-rs and apache/arrow-datafusion instead of apache/arrow for repository * Uses GitHub instead of JIRA for issue management platform https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tMQ67iu8XyGGZuj--h9WQYB9inCk6c2sL_4xMTwENGc/edit * Releases a new minor and patch version every 2 weeks in addition to the quarterly release of the other releases The next actions after we get a consensus about this discussion: 1. Start voting the Julia Arrow implementation move like the Rust's one: https://lists.apache.org/x/thread.html/r44390a18b3fbb08ddb68aa4d12f37245d948984fae11a41494e5fc1d@%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E 2. Create apache/arrow-julia 3. Start IP clearance process to import JuliaData/Arrow.jl to apache/arrow-julia (We don't use julia/Arrow/ in apache/arrow.) 4. Import JuliaData/Arrow.jl to apache/arrow-julia 5. Prepare integration tests CI in apache/arrow-julia and apache/arrow 6. Prepare releasing tools in apache/arrow-julia and apache/arrow 7. Remove julia/... from apache/arrow and leave julia/README.md pointing to apache/arrow-julia Items to be discussed: * Interval of minor and patch releases * The Rust Arrow implementation uses 2 weeks. * Does the Julia Arrow implementation also wants to use 2 weeks? * Can we accordance with the Apache way with this workflow without pain? The Rust Arrow implementation workflow includes the following for this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TyrUP8_UWXqk97a8Hvb1d0UYWigch0HAephIjW7soSI/edit#heading=h.kv1hwbhi3cmi > Contributors will be required to write issues for > planned features and bug fixes so that we have > visibility and opportunities for collaboration > before a PR shows up. * More items? Thanks, -- kou
