Upgrade apache-arrow
The current release depend on apache-arrow@^4.0.0 which is not compatible with the latest TypeScript.

I can confirm that 8.0.0 does not emit any TS build errors, although the upgrade does contain several breaking changes.

As of https://github.com/visgl/loaders.gl/pull/2276, looks like loaders v4 will have an upgraded arrow version
It is true that we have just landed arrow v9 on 4.0-dev but there is no clear timeline, and it seems there might be some work to be done to handle returning arrow data from worker threads in a good way.
4.0 beta releases bump to Apache Arrow 13. This brings in two major breaking arrow-js releases (v5 and v11) so there may be impact on applications.
