Indeed, the JSON format doesn't support it, so that will be a problem if we want to do roundtripping tests with the integration machinery. However, I think we can still use the "golden files" part of integration testing, because there the logic for each implementation is (see [here](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/testing/json_integration_test.cc#L225-L234) for the C++ implementation): * read the JSON file and convert it into a series of record batches * read the Arrow file and decode it into a series of record batches * compare respective record batches for equality Comparing for equality doesn't care if the dictionaries are shared, so this should be ok for testing the ability to read IPC files with shared dictionaries. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
