Is this the project you guys referenced using Apache Arrow for?

Maybe you're thinking of this - the data structure used by datasources for Grafana dashboards:

I don't think so! I think thats being used in Tempo, but I'm not sure.
We are definitely investigating columnar formats in Tempo to store traces. We expect it to drastically accelerate search as well as open up more complex querying and eventually metrics from distributed tracing data.

However, we are currently primarily targeting Parquet as our columnar format in object storage.

Expect an announcement soon!
