Worked on the mathworks/arrow repository to enhance error handling in the GcsFileSystem component by modifying the Make function to return a Result type instead of a shared_ptr. This change enabled more precise error reporting during filesystem creation, improving reliability and making debugging easier for both users and developers. The update required careful adjustments to headers and tests to accommodate the new return type, aligning the storage API with modern error-handling patterns. Leveraged C++ for core development, with additional focus on API design, error handling, and testing. The work laid a foundation for more resilient storage operations and streamlined troubleshooting.
