ASF GitHub Bot updated ARROW-3555: ---------------------------------- Labels: pull-request-available (was: ) > [Plasma] Unify plasma client get function using metadata. > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-3555 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3555 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Yuhong Guo > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > Sometimes, it is very hard for the data consumer to know whether an object is > a buffer or other objects. If we use try-catch to catch the pyarrow > deserialization exception and then using `plasma_client.get_buffer`, the code > is not clean. > We may leverage the metadata which is not used at all to mark the buffer > data. In the client of other language, this would be simple to implement. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
