Implementing InfluxDB IOx, "from scratch" using Apache Arrow, DataFusion, and Rust by Andrew Lamb

DSDSD - THE DUTCH SEMINAR ON DATA SYSTEMS DESIGN:
We hold bi-weekly talks on Fridays from 3:30 PM to 5 PM CET for and by researchers and practitioners designing (and implementing) data systems. The objective is to establish a new forum for the Dutch Data Systems community to come together, foster collaborations between its members, and bring in high-quality international speakers. We would like to invite all researchers, especially also Ph.D. students, who are working on related topics to join the events. It is an excellent opportunity to receive feedback early on from researchers in your field.

Title:
Implementing InfluxDB IOx, "from scratch" using Apache Arrow,
DataFusion, and Rust

Abstract:
It is easier than ever to build new analytic database systems. The trend
towards deconstructed databases, high performance interchange standards,
and high quality open source components means that cutting edge
performance and connectivity is possible without building everything
from scratch in a tightly integrated database system. In this talk, we
will describe some key technologies such as Apache Arrow, Parquet,
DataFusion, and Arrow Flight, and describe how we use them in
InfluxData's new Database system, InfluxDB IOx
