Description

Currently, the Hive project releases a single monolithic release, but this makes file formats reading directly into Hive's vector row batches a circular dependence. Storage-api is a small module with the vectorized row batches and SearchArgument that are necessary for efficient vectorized read and write. By releasing storage-api independently, we can make an interface that the file formats can read and write from.
