What is Apache Arrow?
---------------------

Apache Arrow is a cross-language development platform for in-memory data. It

and hierarchical data, organized for efficient analytic operations on modern
hardware. It also provides computational libraries and zero-copy streaming
messaging and interprocess communication. Languages currently supported include
C, C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Ruby.
