Description

Because of the focus on the memory format of ValueVectors, Drill could benefit from being able to operate across processes using shared memory. This would be useful in various storage engines such HBase and could also be useful where Drill might be running unsafe code such as when running an untrusted UDF. Rather than requiring each implementer to build their own interfaces, we should provide some higher level shared tools for this purpose.
