 This repository contains a Rust library to work with the [Arrow format](https://arrow.apache.org/).
-It is a re-write of the [official Arrow crate](https://github.com/apache/arrow) using transmute-free operations. See FAQ for details.

 Arrow currently transmutes buffers on almost all operations, and very often does not verify that there is type alignment nor correct length when we transmute it to a slice of type `&[T]`.

 Furthermore, the arrow project currently has a release mechanism that is unsuitable for this type of work:
 
-* The Apache Arrow project has a single git repository with all 10+ implementations, ranging from C++, Python, C#, Julia, Rust, and execution engines such as Grandiva and DataFusion. A git ref corresponds to all of them, and a commit is about any/all of them.

-The implication is this work would require a proibitive number of Jira issues for each PR to the crate, as well as an inhumane number of PRs, reviews, etc.

-Another consequence is that it is impossible to release a different design of the arrow crate without breaking every dependency within the project which makes it difficult to iterate.

+* A release of the Apache consists of a release of all implementations of the arrow format at once, with the same version. It is currently at `5.0.0`.
 
 This implies that the crate version is independent of the changelog or its API stability, which violates SemVer. This procedure makes the crate incompatible with Rusts' (and many others') ecosystem that heavily relies on SemVer to constraint software versions.
