2023-02-01 Attendees: - Ian Cook - Nic Crane - Raúl Cumplido - Dewey Dunnington - Will Jones - David Li - Bryce Mecum - Rok Mihevc - Sri Nadukudy - Dane Pitkin - Soumya Sanyal - Matthew Topol - Jacob Wujciak Discussion: Mailing list label/tag guidance for new contributors (Bryce Mecum) - Should we use tags like “[DISCUSS]” and “[RFC]” in addition to the language tags in the subject line of emails? - There is currently no documentation of what practices we should use to tag/label emails to the mailing lists, even for commonly used tags - Other common mailing list conventions (like saying whether your vote is binding or non-binding) are also not formally documented anywhere - For some users, it is not immediately obvious that they should label their emails with the language implementation - The consensus seems to be that it is worth documenting this on the Arrow Community page of the website [1] - Bryce will open a PR Should Rust ADBC libraries be in apache/arrow-adbc? (Will Jones) - Should the Rust ADBC libraries be released per the Rust library release schedule or the ADBC library release schedule? - Considerations include: whether it will be used within the Rust ecosystem (or as a standalone tool that uses Rust); which component it should have tighter integration testing with; what is most convenient for development Known alternatives to Plasma [2] that we can point users to? (Will Jones) - For context: Plasma was added to Arrow C++ by Ray developers, but has no active maintainers any longer and is deprecated and planned for removal in 12.0.0 [3] - Plasma continues to exist as an internal utility in Ray [4] - Weston Pace has been considering how we might solve some of the problems that Plasma solves, but by building on existing Arrow interfaces instead of taking a general-purpose approach like Plasma Release 11.0.0 status (Raúl Cumplido) - Arrow 11.0.0 has been released - There are some post-release tasks still in progress, including downstream packaging and distribution tasks - Raúl will merge the blog post PR and make an announcement on the mailing list soon - PR workflow automation (Raúl Cumplido) - Raúl has proposed to implement some automation to improve the PRs and issues workflows; feedback is welcome in the mailing list thread [5] Canonical TensorArray extension type [6] (Rok Mihevc) - This would be the first canonical extension type since we adopted the framework for that - Looking for input from users/developers who are familiar with working with tensor/multidimensional array data nanoarrow release process (Dewey Dunnington) - Dewey is hoping to do a 0.1 release candidate in the next couple of weeks Jira to GitHub migration (Ian Cook) - There was a discussion in the previous biweekly meeting about how with GitHub Issues we cannot associate bug issues with two milestones—one representing the next (possible/actual) maintenance release and one representing the next major release—like we used to with Jira; the newly proposed “backport candidate” provides a solution to this [7] - The migration dry-run repos discussed in the previous meeting have been deleted - Some users have reported that Jira offered richer options for filtering issues than GitHub does Can we better promote this and other Arrow community meetings? (Ian Cook) - Information about this meeting and the Arrow R developers meeting is shared in biweekly emails Arrow dev mailing list - The Arrow Rust community used to have a sync meeting but stopped having regular dedicated meetings in 2021 - Do any other Arrow language sub-communities hold regular meetings? - We could better promote these biweekly meetings, not just on the mailing lists - Ian will open a PR to add information about these meetings to the Arrow Community page of the website [1] [1] https://arrow.apache.org/community/ [2] https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/plasma.html [3] https://lists.apache.org/thread/nw232k2lzmg9kcl8ts475m9ybl34j81p [4] https://discuss.ray.io/t/plasma-store-apis/5421/6 [5] https://lists.apache.org/thread/1rhsd8ovy4bfr8hcdohn0vh65frw0ggk [6] https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/33925 [7] https://lists.apache.org/thread/38xsz3ycr6jghv6h0d4bsb2y0z093lkf On Tue, Jan 31, 2023 at 11:00 PM Ian Cook <i...@ursacomputing.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Our biweekly Arrow community meeting is tomorrow at 17:00 UTC / 12:00 EST. > > Zoom meeting URL: > https://zoom.us/j/87649033008?pwd=SitsRHluQStlREM0TjJVYkRibVZsUT09 > Meeting ID: 876 4903 3008 > Passcode: 958092 > > Thanks, > Ian
