| <meta name="description" content="The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 0.9.0 release. It is the product of over 3 months of development and includes 260 resolved JIRAs. While we made some of backwards-incompatible columnar binary format changes in last December's 0.8.0 release, the 0.9.0 release is backwards-compatible with 0.8.0. We will be working toward a 1.0.0 release this year, which will mark longer-term binary stability for the Arrow columnar format and metadata. See the Install Page to learn how to get the libraries for your platform. The complete changelog is also available. We discuss some highlights from the release and other project news in this post. This release has been overall focused more on bug fixes, compatibility, and stability compared with previous releases which have pushed more on new and expanded features. New Arrow committers and PMC members Since the last release, we have added 2 new Arrow committers: Brian Hulette and Robert Nishihara. Additionally, Phillip Cloud and Philipp Moritz have been promoted from committer to PMC member. Congratulations and thank you for your contributions! Plasma Object Store Improvements The Plasma Object Store now supports managing interprocess shared memory on CUDA-enabled GPUs. We are excited to see more GPU-related functionality develop in Apache Arrow, as this has become a key computing environment for scalable machine learning. Python Improvements Antoine Pitrou has joined the Python development efforts and helped significantly this release with interoperability with built-in CPython data structures and NumPy structured data types. New experimental support for reading Apache ORC files pyarrow.array now accepts lists of tuples or Python dicts for creating Arrow struct type arrays. NumPy structured dtypes (which are row/record-oriented) can be directly converted to Arrow struct (column-oriented) arrays Python 3.6 pathlib objects for file paths are now accepted in many file APIs, including for Parquet files Arrow integer arrays with nulls can now be converted to NumPy object arrays with None values New pyarrow.foreign_buffer API for interacting with memory blocks located at particular memory addresses Java Improvements Java now fully supports the FixedSizeBinary data type. JavaScript Improvements The JavaScript library has been significantly refactored and expanded. We are making separate Apache releases (most recently JS-0.3.1) for JavaScript, which are being published to NPM. Upcoming Roadmap In the coming months, we will be working to move Apache Arrow closer to a 1.0.0 release. We will also be discussing plans to develop native Arrow-based computational libraries within the project." /> |

| --> |
| <p>The Apache Arrow team is pleased to announce the 0.9.0 release. It is the |
| product of over 3 months of development and includes <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20ARROW%20AND%20status%20in%20(Resolved%2C%20Closed)%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.9.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>260 resolved |
| JIRAs</strong></a>.</p> |
| <p>While we made some of backwards-incompatible columnar binary format changes in |
| last December's 0.8.0 release, the 0.9.0 release is backwards-compatible with |
| 0.8.0. We will be working toward a 1.0.0 release this year, which will mark |
| longer-term binary stability for the Arrow columnar format and metadata.</p> |
| <p>See the <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/install">Install Page</a> to learn how to get the libraries for your |
| platform. The <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/release/0.8.0.html">complete changelog</a> is also available.</p> |
| <p>We discuss some highlights from the release and other project news in this |
| post. This release has been overall focused more on bug fixes, compatibility, |
| and stability compared with previous releases which have pushed more on new and |
| expanded features.</p> |
| <h2>New Arrow committers and PMC members</h2> |
| <p>Since the last release, we have added 2 new Arrow committers: <a href="https://github.com/theneuralbit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian |
| Hulette</a> and <a href="https://github.com/robertnishihara" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Nishihara</a>. Additionally, <a href="https://github.com/cpcloud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phillip Cloud</a> and |
| <a href="https://github.com/pcmoritz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philipp Moritz</a> have been promoted from committer to PMC |
| member. Congratulations and thank you for your contributions!</p> |
| <h2>Plasma Object Store Improvements</h2> |
| <p>The Plasma Object Store now supports managing interprocess shared memory on |
| CUDA-enabled GPUs. We are excited to see more GPU-related functionality develop |
| in Apache Arrow, as this has become a key computing environment for scalable |
| machine learning.</p> |
| <h2>Python Improvements</h2> |
| <p><a href="https://github.com/pitrou" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antoine Pitrou</a> has joined the Python development efforts and helped |
| significantly this release with interoperability with built-in CPython data |
| structures and NumPy structured data types.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>New experimental support for reading Apache ORC files</li> |
| <li> |
| <code>pyarrow.array</code> now accepts lists of tuples or Python dicts for creating |
| Arrow struct type arrays.</li> |
| <li>NumPy structured dtypes (which are row/record-oriented) can be directly |
| converted to Arrow struct (column-oriented) arrays</li> |
| <li>Python 3.6 <code>pathlib</code> objects for file paths are now accepted in many file |
| APIs, including for Parquet files</li> |
| <li>Arrow integer arrays with nulls can now be converted to NumPy object arrays |
| with <code>None</code> values</li> |
| <li>New <code>pyarrow.foreign_buffer</code> API for interacting with memory blocks located |
| at particular memory addresses</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Java Improvements</h2> |
| <p>Java now fully supports the <code>FixedSizeBinary</code> data type.</p> |
| <h2>JavaScript Improvements</h2> |
| <p>The JavaScript library has been significantly refactored and expanded. We are |
| making separate Apache releases (most recently <code>JS-0.3.1</code>) for JavaScript, |
| which are being <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/apache-arrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published to NPM</a>.</p> |
| <h2>Upcoming Roadmap</h2> |
