----------------------------------

Hi [~fhueske], thank you for your kind reply. I agree with most points. The 
changes should be incremental so as not to break other components. So I think 
the first step is to provide a flag which is disabled by default, and let the 
MemoryManager depend on the Arrow Buffer Allocator. With this change, all the 
MemorySegment will be Arrow buffers, but this is transparent to other 
components, and will break them.

I guess I will initiate a discussion on the dev mailing list.

BTW, my mail address has been kicked out from the mailing list for a couple of 
days, because the dev-help claims that it receives some bouncing message. Would 
you please add another email address of mine (fan_li...@aliyun.com) to the 
mailing list?  Thank you in advance.

> Investigate the possibility of adding support for Apache Arrow as a 
> standardized columnar, memory format for data.
> Given the activity that [https://github.com/apache/arrow] is currently 
> getting and its claims objective of providing a zero-copy, standardized data 
> format across platforms, I think it makes sense for Flink to look into 
> supporting it.
