Hello,
I would like to announce that we have just merged https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/7507, which implements - on the C++ side - endianness conversion when reading IPC data with non-native endianness. This means that IPC and Flight communication using Arrow C++ should be possible between systems with different native endiannesses. This feature is experimental for now: there are basic integration tests, but it should be exercised a bit more before we declare it stable. We've also added an entry in the feature compatibility matrix: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/docs/source/status.rst#ipc-format Regards Antoine.
