Hi, There are many similarities between Blaze and Apache DataFusion's Comet subproject, which is also a Spark accelerator implemented in Rust. Both projects appear to use Apache DataFusion for query execution.
https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/ I hope that there can be collaboration between these projects in the future. The Comet project has started upstreaming some portions of code (particularly Spark-compatible UDF implementations) into the recently created "datafusion-spark" crate in the core DataFusion project. https://github.com/apache/datafusion/tree/main/datafusion/spark Thanks, Andy.
