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.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
