Arrow format, Rust implementation

[Edmon Begoli <eb...@gmail.com>]

Two questions:

1) Has anyone shown interest to implement a support for Arrow in Rust?

2) Is there a complete and usable description of the Arrow format somewhere?
Is this it:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/format/Layout.md

Thank you,
Edmon

EMK> I don't remember seeing anything on the mailing list about anyone
working on a Rust version.

EMK> Yes Layoud.md is one part. [1] also describes the current format
for metadata using Google's Flatbuffers.   I think both might still
get some small revisions as we start doing integration testing between
Java/C++.  If you find issues with either of these please don't
hesitate to ask questions here.
