Hi Andrew. Thanks as well for the kind words. It has been an interesting exercise writing the guide to understand all the code you all have written. I know it is not complete but at least it has given me an idea of the topics I want to dig deeper and how to use Arrow (I'm looking at you Datafusion)

I also started reading this book and what I have read so far is quite impressive - thank you Fernando. While keeping the code in a separate repo for now makes sense, what do you think about including a link to your guide in the Rust Arrow crate's README.md? Andrew On Mon, Feb 1, 2021 at 2:31 PM

Thanks Jorge. It does mean a lot your comments, and please, do help me get it better. I was wondering as well to put it inside the arrow crate but at the beginning I think it is going to be changing a lot, so I think it would be a good idea to keep it in a separate repo so we can iterate on it as

I went through it, and I have to say that it is really well written and contains non-trivial knowledge about the arrow crate. Thank you very much for this, Fernando. In my opinion alone, the guide or a variation of it could be incorporated into the arrow repo and released together with the crate,

To state the obvious, it would be great to have some community maintained documentation (beyond generated API docs) for the Rust library. Writing documentation almost always causes the quality of a code base to improve because the process brings up rough edges, inconsistencies, or missing features.

2021-01-31 Thread Fernando Herrera
Hi all, During the past months I have been trying to read and understand the code base for the Rust implementation of Arrow. At the beginning I was just reading the code and figuring out what each part or module was used for. Unfortunately this approach didn't work very well and had to start from
