[Docs] Describe supported OS + client languages #18708

Open asfimport opened 3 years ago

asfimport commented 3 years ago

We mention which operating systems we support: https://arrow.apache.org/install/#c-and-glib-c-packages-for-debian-gnulinux-ubuntu-and-centos

And which Python versions: https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/python.html

But we should also include other languages (e.g. R), as well as some philosophy / criteria for how long we support them (Python versions until they are EOLed, R versions 5 years back, ...)

Additionally: "It would be good to make a note somewhere of (1) platforms we test on, (2) platforms we have worked to support in the past but don't have CI for (e.g. solaris, ibm something that came up recently, raspbian per Nic's issue, etc.), and (3) what one can do if they want to add support for some other platform not listed" -Neal

Joris Van den Bossche / @jorisvandenbossche: For Python it might be rather listed at https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html#python-compatibility

 

I notice that this information is actually also outdated ..
