Hi,

Currently DataFrames.jl is designed for in-memory processing of data frames using CPU. While still we are working on improvements (the coming year) in this area I would like to make a pool on which general design direction we should take in the long term (several years):

_Poll ([view on site](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/future-directions-for-dataframes-jl/66247/1))_

I have made the pool single choice to understand the major area that the community would prefer us to concentrate on.

We do not even know yet what is possible in these areas - this pool will provide us with information which area we should concentrate on in our investigations.

Thank you for voting!
