Sure comes across as arrogant for Prof Abadi to remark: > I assume that the Arrow developers will eventually read my 2006 paper on compression in column-stores and expand their compression options to include other schemes which can be operated on directly (such as run-length-encoding and bit-vector compression). In this blog post, I don’t agree with: > Almost every single major data-processing platform that has emerged in the last decade has been either open source. That’s somewhat true by definition. OTOH, I also know most financial firms use proprietary solutions (which leverage open source components).
