Arrow
Arrow IPC, also known as Feather V2, is an efficient file format for storing and exchanging large-scale data frames. Developed as part of the Apache Arrow project, it enables high-speed data interchange between various programming languages and systems.
Arrow is optimized for performance, leveraging an in-memory columnar data representation to ensure fast reads and writes. It is especially effective for data analytics workflows, supporting complex data types and maintaining compatibility across multiple data analysis platforms.
