Description

This will contain a list of "canonical use cases" for Arrow:

• In-memory data structure for vectorized analytics / SIMD, or creating a column-oriented analytic database system

• Reading and writing columnar storage formats like Apache Parquet

• Faster alternative to Thrift, Protobuf, or Avro in RPC

• Shared memory IPC (zero-copy in-situ analytics)

Any other ideas?
