Support Apache Arrow data type

[v1gnesh]

You can use https://github.com/apache/arrow-go to deal with arrow-format data.

It would be amazing if I can make my HTTP endpoint just return Arrow format data (IPC or pyarrow Table or whatever), and for the Infinity plugin to accept that, in addition to its current support of CSV and JSON.
This will save a bunch of time serializing (my app/web-server doing this to create CSV) & deserializing (infinity doing this to parse CSV/JSON).

Any thoughts .... ?

Hello @yesoreyeram,
Attracting fellow users through a GH Discussion post may take months...
Isn't it good to have a more efficient & performant way to shuttle data around?
Apart from (understandably) the point of you being able to spare time, why wait on this until it gains momentum when it is known to be beneficial?

Hello, @yesoreyeram, please see https://motherduck.com/blog/flight-sql-vs-rest-vs-jdbc/
This (Flight-based capabilities) is inevitable, and will boost performance/responsiveness of Grafana in general and specifically Infinity data source users. What's not to like?
