Apache Arrow is open source software for columnar in-memory data structures and processing.[2][3][4]
Arrow is sponsored by the nonprofit Apache Software Foundation[5] and was announced by Cloudera in 2016[6]. Arrow is a component, rather than a standalone piece of software, and as such is included in many popular projects, including Apache Spark and pandas.[7]
It defines a language-independent physical memory layout, enabling zero-copy, zero-deserialization interchange of flat and nested columnar data amongst a variety of systems such as Python, R, Apache Spark, ODBC protocols, and proprietary systems that utilize the open source components.[8][9] Apache Arrow is a complement to on-disk columnar data formats such as Apache Parquet and Apache ORC in that it organizes data for efficient in-memory processing by CPUs and GPUs.
Comparisons
Apache Parquet and Apache ORC are popular examples of on-disk columnar data formats. Arrow is designed as a complement to these formats for processing data in-memory.[10]. The hardware resource engineering trade-offs for in-memory processing vary from those associated with on-disk storage.[11] The Arrow and Parquet projects includes libraries that allow for reading and writing data between the two formats.[12]
