Apache Arrow + ADBC & Iceberg: From SDK Integration to Query Engines

​Join us live from the Apache Iceberg Summit with Matt Topol, Co-founder at Columnar, Apache Arrow PMC Member and Committer, and Apache Iceberg PMC Member and Committer. Matt is also the author of "In-Memory Analytics with Apache Arrow."

​Agenda:

• ​Arrow overview and ADBC: why it replaces JDBC/ODBC for zero-copy data transfer

• ​Iceberg SDK integration with concrete code examples

• ​Engines that stream Arrow output vs JSON-only systems: what the performance gap actually looks like

• ​SparkConnect and Arrow adoption: what it means for production Iceberg pipelines
