Apache Arrow is a universal columnar format and multi-language toolbox
for fast data interchange and in-memory analytics. It contains a set of
technologies that enable data systems to efficiently store, process,
and move data.
the port only builds the cpp part of arrow, enabling support for
parquet: https://parquet.apache.org/
depending on future needs, other languages/bindings (python, java, js,
ruby, etc..) can be built as subdirs of this port.
