Jacques Nadeau commented on ARROW-1693:
---------------------------------------
I actually think having the vector layout was a mistake. I think we should
remove it. It is a constant that is defined by the spec. We actually
implemented an alternative representation internally where we skip inclusion of
it because we don't want to send around information that is useless (and can be
fairly substantial when talking about five record, several thousand field
datasets).
> [JS] Error reading dictionary-encoded integration test files
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-1693
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1693
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript
> Reporter: Brian Hulette
> Assignee: Brian Hulette
> Fix For: 0.8.0
>
> Attachments: dictionary-cpp.arrow, dictionary-java.arrow,
> dictionary.json
>
>
> The JS implementation crashes when reading the dictionary test case from the
> integration tests.
> To replicate, first generate the test files with java and cpp impls:
> {code}
> $ cd ${ARROW_HOME}/integration/
> $ python -c 'from integration_test import generate_dictionary_case;
> generate_dictionary_case().write("dictionary.json")'
> $ ../cpp/debug/debug/json-integration-test --integration
> --json=dictionary.json --arrow=dictionary-cpp.arrow --mode=JSON_TO_ARROW
> $ java -cp
> ../java/tools/target/arrow-tools-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
> org.apache.arrow.tools.Integration -c JSON_TO_ARROW -a dictionary-java.arrow
> -j dictionary.json
> {code}
> Attempt to read the files with the JS impl:
> {code}
> $ cd ${ARROW_HOME}/js/
> $ ./bin/arrow2csv.js -s dict1_0 -f ../integration/dictionary-{java,cpp}.arrow
> {code}
> Both files result in an error for me on
> [a8f51858|https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/a8f518588fda471b2e3cc8e0f0064e7c4bb99899]:
> {{TypeError: Cannot read property 'buffer' of undefined}}
