Time for @oredev !! If you're here don't miss my talk today at 10:10 on using @ApacheArrow with #ml workflows! Looking forward to a day of interesting talks and discussions

In SF during Snowflake Summit June 1-3? Duck out (ha!) to The Dive! Hear from rockstars at Anthropic, Braintrust, Lovable, Hex, & more.
See the future of lakehouses with @J_ , creator of Apache Parquet, and @zeroshade, founder at Columnar (& me!)
Register! https://t.co/VlIlwlrw8q

@andrewlamb1111 @ApacheDataFusio @ApacheArrow Well, most of the systems...

[Matt Topol @zeroshade]

@andrewlamb1111 @ApacheDataFusio You know what's missing from that diagram? The fact that @ApacheArrow is the data format used to communicate between all those systems given that cuDF and Rapids are built on top of the Arrow format...

[Matt Topol @zeroshade]

@_Felipe The 9th is a Thursday lol I'll be in SF all that week though, from Monday 6th till Friday the 10th. We should definitely meet up though!!

The fastest operation is the one you don’t have to do.

When a database natively supports @ApacheArrow, ADBC can speed up fetching and ingestion by eliminating costly row/column conversions.

How much faster is it in practice? We ran some benchmarks to find out. Link below 👇

[Dipankar Mazumdar @Dipankartnt]

If you aren't paying attention to some of the Apache Spark Acceleration projects like Gluten, you should!

Gluten just graduated as a Top-Level Project @TheASF

[Columnar @columnar_tech]

Fetch query results without ODBC / JDBC bottlenecks. The new ADBC driver for @databricks is now in early release. Install it with dbc. Details in comments.

[Supermetal @SupermetalInc]

🚀 Launching Supermetal — data replication that just works.

Sync databases to warehouses in real-time or batch — no Kafka, no JVM, no Debezium. Built in Rust & Apache Arrow.

[Bessemer @BessemerVP]

Data and AI are evolving fast, but much of today’s infrastructure still runs on standards from the 90s.

@columnar_tech, from the team behind Apache Arrow, is bringing an Arrow-native protocol (ADBC) that moves data 10–100× faster across systems like Snowflake and DuckDB.

We're excited to lead Columnar's $4M seed round.

[The New Stack @thenewstack]

A new startup, @columnar_tech, looks to streamline the copying of tabular data across systems, using @ApacheArrow and the ADBC API.

[Matt Topol @zeroshade]

Come join the community with our launch! Learn more and come talk to us about data connectivity with @ApacheArrow !!

[Ian Cook @ianmcook]

The future of data connectivity is columnar. Today we launched @columnar_tech to accelerate the shift from slow, row-oriented APIs like ODBC and JDBC to >10x faster alternatives powered by @ApacheArrow. Learn more 👉 https://t.co/RWMK5bRLLo⚡️

[Ian Cook @ianmcook]

ODBC is getting tired. It can't keep up with the fast new kids in the data world these days. The next generation is ready to take the torch. Meet ADBC, a fast, modern data connectivity standard built on @ApacheArrow. Watch my talk from the @CMUDB seminar: https://t.co/OvNBmXXNf4

[Spiral @SpiralDB]

We're building the data infrastructure that AI actually needs.

Current systems were built for humans reading dashboards. But an H100 can consume 4 million images per second.

The future isn't human-scale. It's machine-scale.

Introducing Spiral: Data 3.0 🌀

Its happening -- DataFusion will (finally) get spilling hash joins. The march to completeness begins

[Columnar @columnar_tech]

In September the @columnar_tech crew are headed to @PyDataParis 2025 and the first ever @ApacheArrow Summit. The organizer @QuantStack is a dedicated supporter of Apache Arrow. We’re delighted to be sponsoring the event.

[Wes McKinney @wesmckinn]

Excited to see continued improvements in embedded query processing in the @ApacheArrow C++ project: https://t.co/dd4zaXq5Bh
