Ceph is on the threshold of adding a dependency on Apache Arrow[1].

Ceph has had a long history of bundling dependencies so that they can be built when the platform either doesn't have the dependency or the dependency is too old. But this time, for a number of factors, the preference is to not bundle it.

At this point I'm just exploring the possibility of getting it added to Fedora; whether anyone has any show stopper objections, etc.

Let me know if you have any objections or questions.

Thanks
