I would like to propose that we move the Ballista project to a new top-level *arrow-ballista* repository.
The rationale for this (copied from the GitHub issue [1]) is: - Decouple release process for DataFusion and Ballista - Allow each project to have top-level documentation and user guides that are targeting the appropriate audience - Reduce issue tracking and PR review burden for DataFusion maintainers who are not as interested in Ballista - Help avoid accidental circular dependencies being introduced between the projects (such as [3]) - Helps formalize the public API for DataFusion that other query engines should be using There is a design docment [3] that outlines the plan for implementing this. Only votes from PMC members are binding, but all members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". The vote will run for at least 72 hours.
