It houses a set of canonical in-memory representations of flat and hierarchical data along with multiple language-bindings for structure manipulation. It also provides low-overhead streaming and batch messaging, zero-copy interprocess communication (IPC), and vectorized in-memory analytics libraries. Languages currently supported include C, C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Julia, MATLAB, Python, R, Ruby, and Rust. What is Apache Arrow ADBC? -------------------------- ADBC is a database access abstraction for Arrow-based applications. It provides a cross-language API for working with databases while using Arrow data, providing an alternative to APIs like JDBC and ODBC for analytical applications. For more, see [4].
