About the project

A universal columnar format and multi-language toolbox for fast data interchange and in-memory analytics, including Arrow IPC, Flight RPC, ADBC and Gandiva. Used in data systems for efficient storage, processing and transfer of tabular data across languages and processes.

Useful for
  • Read a Parquet file into an Arrow table and process it in Python or C++
  • Transfer a dataframe between Java and C++ processes via Arrow IPC without serialization
  • Stand up an Arrow Flight RPC service to exchange data between distributed components

1.4 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 29, 2026, 02:21 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0612August 1, 2026October 29, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:09–02:17: 17244 → 17244 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +4 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 33. +136% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
