Apache Arrow, Parquet, Flight and their ecosystem are a game changer for OLAP (influxdata.com)

We use Arrow under the hood in our new scripting and query language, Flux. We're looking into adding Flight RPC to InfluxDB and there are some new internal projects that I'm looking at to use Parquet + Flight + Arrow all the way through. But this article was meant to just be about those projects and less about what we're doing. We're early stages on a bunch of this work, but hopefully we'll have more to say later in the year.
