More design work is needed on the metadata specification -- I would not use either codebase as a reference for doing a different implementation until the specification / format documents are complete enough to enable a "clean room" implementation. I will leave Steven or Jacques from the Drill side

Hi Wes, What is the most complete arrow version at the moment? I can see C++ and Python are most active and Java was coped from Drill. So does this mean that we can use the C++ version as a reference? I also want to help you. I can do metadata read/write, if nobody doing it. Thanks, -Kiril >

Hi Nicki, 1. I'm currently working on the char/string support for C++. I've been a little bit backlogged on it. If I don't make substantial progress this weekend, I'm happy to relinquish the task. 2. I'll let someone more knowledgable about the java implementation chime in, but I think the ans
