Querying Arrow tables with DataFusion in Python

InfluxDB v3 allows users to write data at a rate of 4.3 million points per second. However, an incredibly fast ingest rate like this is meaningless without the ability to query that data. Apache DataFusion is an “extensible query execution framework, written in Rust, that uses Apache Arrow as its in-memory format.” It enables 5–25x faster query responses across a broad range of query types compared to previous versions of InfluxDB that didn’t use the Apache ecosystem.
