Review comment:
```suggestion
The Flight specification has been clarified to note that schemas are
expected to be IPC-encapsulated on the wire.
Documentation has been generally improved; see the [Arrow
Cookbook](https://arrow.apache.org/cookbook/) for recipes on how to use Flight
in Python and R, and a new
[example](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/examples/arrow/flight_grpc_example.cc)
on how to use Flight and gRPC services on the same port.
This release includes Arrow Flight SQL, a protocol for using Arrow Flight to
execute queries against and fetch metadata from SQL databases. Support is
included for C++ and Java (but *not* languages that bind to C++, like Python or
R). A more detailed blog post is forthcoming. Note that development is ongoing
and the specification is currently experimental.
