Project and Product Names Using "Apache Arrow"

Organizations creating products and projects for use with Apache Arrow, along with associated marketing materials, should take care to respect the trademark in "Apache Arrow" and its logo. Please refer to ASF Trademarks Guidance and associated FAQ for comprehensive and authoritative guidance on proper usage of ASF trademarks.

Names that do not include "Apache Arrow" at all have no potential trademark issue with the Apache Arrow project. This is recommended.

Names like "Apache Arrow BigCoProduct" are not OK, as are names including "Apache Arrow" in general. The above links, however, describe some exceptions, like for names such as "BigCoProduct, powered by Apache Arrow" or "BigCoProduct for Apache Arrow".

It is common practice to create software identifiers (Maven coordinates, module names, etc.) like "arrow-foo". These are permitted. Nominative use of trademarks in descriptions is also always allowed, as in "BigCoProduct is a widget for Apache Arrow".

Projects and documents that want to include a logo for Apache Arrow should use the official logo, and adhere to the guidelines listed on the [Visual Identity]({{ site.baseurl }}/visual_identity/) page:

Projects Powered By Apache Arrow

To add yourself to the list, please open a pull request adding your organization name, URL, a list of which Arrow components you are using, and a short description of your use case.

  • GreptimeDB: GreptimeDB is an open-source time-series database with a special focus on scalability, analytical capabilities and efficiency. It's designed to work on infrastructure of the cloud era, and users benefit from its elasticity and commodity storage. GreptimeDB uses Apache Arrow as the memory model and Apache Parquet as the persistent file format.
  • HASH: HASH is an open-core platform for building, running, and learning from simulations, with an in-browser IDE. HASH Engine uses Apache Arrow to power the datastore for simulation state during computation, enabling zero-copy data transfer between simulation logic written across Rust, JavaScript, and Python.
  • InAccel: A machine learning acceleration framework which leverages FPGAs-as-a-service. InAccel supports dataframes backed by Apache Arrow to serve as input for our implemented ML algorithms. Those dataframes can be accessed from the FPGAs with a single DMA operation by implementing a shared memory communication schema.
  • InfluxDB IOx: InfluxDB IOx is an open source time series database written in Rust. It is the future core of InfluxDB; supporting industry standard SQL, InfluxQL, and Flux. IOx uses Apache Arrow as its in-memory format, Apache Parquet as its persistence format and Apache Arrow Flight for RPC.
