2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year for fast query result transfer with Apache Arrow. But what exactly makes it so fast? David Li, Matt Topol, and I break it down in this new blog post: arrow.apache.org/blog/2025/01...

[🎥 Watch] Apache Arrow is a columnar format and multi-language toolbox for fast data interchange and in-memory analytics. Matt Topol, Arrow PMC member, talks about Arrow subprojects and how you can get involved with the project. https://buff.ly/40qNPAL #opensource

Would love to see more discussion of this. To Andy's point we have this wonderful Arrow eco system that's underdeveloped. In a world of columnar data we're still stuck using ODBC/JDBC for connectivity to most data systems. Hard to get some vendors to even talk about ADBC.
