   There's a description of the differences here:
   https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-streaming-format
   https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-file-format
   
   The IPC stream format lacks the magic numbers and the footer that the IPC 
file format has.
   
   There's a file containing a valid Arrow IPC stream here if you want to use 
it for testing: 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-experiments/tree/main/data/rand-many-types
   
   (This is confusing because you can serialize an IPC stream to a file, which 
is what I did there. But it's in the _stream_ format, not the _file_ format.)
