Hi @alamb! I'm curious what "arrow2" means here. Is it related to https://github.com/jorgecarleitao/arrow2?

Yes that's what it refers to and it has been completed. However it's not completely up to date with master.

yes, that is exactly what arrow2 means

There is a branch https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/tree/arrow2 and a discussion ticket #1532 that has more information if you are interested

Are these two duplicates?

To my knowledge, no. I thought they were two independent benchmarks that we wanted to cover. However, I don't have much experience on the TPCH side / i've only been working on the db-benchmark solution.

I don't see TPCH mentioned on db-benchmark. Would you be able to expand on how you think they are duplicates?

Sorry, my mistake. I believe the Db-Benchmark you mentioned is datafusion/benches/?

The db-benchmark im referring to is getting datafusion included here https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/

I've opened a PR there to get it added.
