Apache Arrow
An Apache open-source cross-language in-memory data format standard that provides an efficient columnar memory layout. Pandas 2.x introduced it as a backend to improve performance and memory efficiency.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Vectorization means executing an operator over an entire column of data at once, rather than calling it in a loop for each row; cuDF is built on the Apache Arrow columnar memory format and can process data in batches on the GPU.
The Apache Arrow standard attempts to unify in-memory columnar data formats and reduce the cost of data conversion between different tools.
It is recommended to use Pandas for quick exploration and small-scale data processing, Polars or DuckDB for performance-sensitive large-scale tasks, and to pass data between the two via the Arrow format.
