Brian Hulette created ARROW-998: ----------------------------------- Summary: [Doc] File format documents incorrect schema location Key: ARROW-998 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-998 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Brian Hulette
The documentation for the file format makes it look like the schema is at the beginning of the file, since it "contains" the streaming format (https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/format/IPC.md#file-format), but in reality the schema is in the footer (https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/format/File.fbs#L29) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
