I am in the same boat as @sanjaysrikakulam. I find the store invaluable as a standalone tool and now that is deprecated from Arrow it would be great if it was supported from Ray. I understand that your fork is integrated with Ray and providing features such as object spilling and distributed reference counting but may it be worth considering its value standalone too? It’s a relevant tooi for shared memory usage where tools are lacking in general.
