> @liyafan82 The problem actually isn't with big-endian platforms! It's because Java's ByteBuffer [defaults to big-endian](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/ByteBuffer.html#wrap(byte%5B%5D)), and some libraries, like Protobuf, inherit that behavior. We discovered this when developing with Flight internally; there are Protobuf APIs that return a ByteBuffer that may be big-endian; when Flight tries to copy the buffer into an ArrowBuf, it corrupts the data. @lidavidm Thanks a lot for your clarification. This is really a problem that needs to be fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
