You're not the only one. I've worked quite a bit with Minio, Arrow, and Spark, and I don't really understand the point the article is trying to make or how it's related to Minio. It's either badly explained or just a fluff piece throwing together a bunch of technologies.

To me, the article says "columnar formats that don't require deserialization are good, oh, and you can use Minio to store data!"
