From the specification > Implementations are recommended to allocate memory on aligned addresses (multiple of 8- or 64-bytes) and pad (overallocate) to a length that is a multiple of 8 or 64 bytes. **When serializing Arrow data for interprocess communication, these alignment and padding requirements are enforced.** So I guess it's a question whether we want to allow the creation of non-conforming IPC messages ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
