Re: R/arrow update

That sounds good. I’ll make a pull request of what I have once I have something useful in the readme. Things like build are not dealt with at the moment so it might be that this only works on macOS or even (don’t think so) only on my 💻. As long as it’s clearly established that this is wip and

Re: [RESULT] [VOTE] Release Apache Arrow 0.9.0 (RC2)

hi Romain, Cool! I would suggest that we proceed in one of two ways: * Start merging R patches to master (what I would prefer) * Merge patches into an r-devel branch while the R bindings initiative is in early stages I don't really see any benefits to hiding early-stage code in a branch; the REA

Re: Guidelines for use of Status and out parameters

Yes, the general guideline is to use Status (in C++ APIs) for exceptional behavior that is out of the control of the user of the C++ APIs. We have been trying to not use Status to make assertions that the developer has invoked the API correctly -- instead preconditions and other such checks should

Re: Guidelines for use of Status and out parameters

Hello, the general rule is: Use a Status as return value when you would throw an exception, otherwise return the value directly. In the case where a DCHECK is sufficient and no method is called that would return a Status, we should get rid of the Status return. For the AddField case it would be

Re: [DISCUSS] Arrow 1.0 Compatibility Issues: Union and Interval

Guidelines for use of Status and out parameters

Hello, I'm trying to understand when it is recommended to return a Status instance and use an out parameter for the result value, vs. when it is allowed to return the result value naturally. For instance we currently have the following methods on the Schema class: Status AddField(int i, const
