Polars library and DuckDB in Knime

Hi!

I am currently investigating the possibilities and features offered by both

*

DuckDB: sort of sqlite for analytics (

*

polars: library written in Rust, with a python API and based on Arrow to process dataframes much faster than with pandas

At first sight, it looks like it could be a good fit for a tighter integration in Knime. Any plans for that on Knime’s side. In the meanwhile, I will keep investigating using the new Python nodes and JDBC drivers.
