  • Polars: Company Formation Announcement
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Aug 2023
    One of the interesting components of Polars that I've been watching is the use of the Apache Arrow memory format, which is a standard layout for data in memory that enables processing (querying, iterating, calculating, etc) in a language agnostic way, in particular without having to copy/convert it into the local object format first. This enables cross-language data access by mmaping or transferring a single buffer, with zero [de]serialization overhead.

    For some history, there's has been a bit of contention between the official arrow-rs implementation and the arrow2 implementation created by the polars team which includes some extra features that they find important. I think the current status is that everyone agrees that having two crates that implement the same standard is not ideal, and they are working to port any necessary features to the arrow-rs crate and plan on eventually switching to it and deprecating arrow2. But that's not easy.

    Currently datafusion and polars aren't directly operable iirc because they use different underlying arrows implementations, but there seems to be work being done on that here https://github.com/jorgecarleitao/arrow2/issues/1429

    [arrow2](https://github.com/jorgecarleitao/arrow2) and [parquet2](https://github.com/jorgecarleitao/parquet2) are great foundational libraries for and DataFrame libs in Rust.

    This is so freaking life-saving! - we have been using StreamingIterator and FallibleStreamingIterator in libraries (arrow2 and parquet2) and the existing landscape is quite confusing for new users!
  • Mssql :(

    arrow2 has support for mssql via ODBC (which microsoft has first class support to). Here are the integration tests we have (both read and write) against mssql specifically.
