There isn’t any support AFAIK, but I am curious as to how you think it should support Arrow?

it is in memory analysis platform reading data from datalake. do you mean if arrow supports reading data from pulsar as consumer?

@David K We were thinking that Pulsar could possibly send messages as an Arrow type. Currently we are sending messages via message type JSON schema, but we would like to send messages in arrow format. I do not think it is possible for Pulsar to support that currently, but wondering if anyone had any insight on it.

You can always use the byte[] schema type to send the messages as raw bytes. Then your application is responsible for the serialization / deserialization of the bytes into Arrow format

Yes, I know of someone sending Arrow Flight with BYTES schema.
