How successful have you been in pushing database vendors to use arrow on the wire? We've started using turbodbc (to connect to SQL Server), but as I understand it the data on the wire is still in odbc's row-oriented wire format, and turbodbc is responsible for packing into arrow column oriented buffers.
As you mention in your second paragraph, arrow is perfect for getting typed query results from a database server directly to a web frontend with minimal overhead. With the Transferable interface, it's even possible to zero-copy transfer the arrow data from the network buffer to a webworker.
