HighPerformanceSharing&InterchangeToday With Arrow

•  Each system has its own internal memory format

•  70-80% CPU wasted on serialization and deserialization

•  Similar functionality implemented in multiple projects

•  All systems utilize the same memory format

•  No overhead for cross-system communication

•  Projects can share functionality (eg, Parquet-to-Arrow reader)
