-----------------------------------

             Summary: Int types should only have width of 8*2^n (8, 16, 32, 64)
                 Key: ARROW-253
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-253
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Format
            Reporter: Julien Le Dem


Since arrow is focused on CPU efficient operations and we want to keep the spec 
simple to the minimum required we should restrict the Int type to width of 1, 
2, 4 or 8 bytes
