Hi all,

It might be a trivial question, so please let me know if I am missing
something.

I am trying to write and read files in the Arrow format in Java. My data is
simple flat schema with primitive types. I already have the data in Java.
So my questions are:
1. Is this possible or am I fundamentally missing something what Arrow can
or cannot do (or is designed to do). I assume that an efficient in-memory
columnar data format should work with files too.
2. Can you point me out to a working example? or a starting example.
Intuitively I am looking for a way to define schema, write/read column
vectors to/from files as one does with Parquet or ORC.

I try to locate some working examples with ArrowFile[Reader/Writer] classes
in the maven tests but so far not sure where to start.

Thanks,
