-----------------------------------
Summary: [Format] Register media types (MIME types) for Apache
Arrow formats to IANA
Key: ARROW-7396
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7396
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Format
Reporter: Kouhei Sutou
See "MIME types" thread for details:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b15726d0c0da2223ba1b45a226ef86263f688b20532a30535cd5e267%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E
Summary:
* If we don't register our media types for Apache Arrow formats (IPC File
Format and IPC Streaming Format) to IANA, we should use "x-" prefix such as
"application/x-apache-arrow-file".
* It may be better that we reuse the same manner as Apache Thrift. Apache
Thrift registers their media types as "application/vnd.apache.thrift.XXX". If
we use the same manner as Apache Thrift, we will use
"application/vnd.apache.arrow.file" or something.
TODO:
* Decide which media types should we register. (Do we need vote?)
* Register our media types to IANA.
