[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-4333) [C++] Sketch out design for kernels and "query" execution in compute layer

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4333?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16763321#comment-16763321 ] 

Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-4333:
-------------------------------------

Yes, I agree with coming up with a plan for all these concerns. I think the volcano batch model is the way to go. This is what Impala and many other systems use quite successfully

> It would be good to formalize the design of kernels and the controlling query execution layer (e.g. volcano batch model?) to understand the following:
> Contracts for kernels:
>  * Thread safety of kernels?
>  * When Kernels should allocate memory vs expect preallocated memory?  How to communicate requirements for a kernels memory allocaiton?
>  * How to communicate the whether a kernels execution is parallelizable across a ChunkedArray?  How to determine if the order to execution across a ChunkedArray is important?
>  * How to communicate when it is safe to re-use the same buffers and input and output to the same kernel?
> What does the threading model look like for the higher level of control?  Where should synchronization happen?
