Julien Le Dem commented on ARROW-258:
-------------------------------------
specifically, this is about cleaning up the shared definitions in Message.fbs
(metadata)
currently the Buffer type defined there seems specific to shared memory for IPC.
So we should either:
- restrict it to types that are reusable across IPC, RPC and Files (possibly
other channels)
- clarify how we do various channels (IPC/RPC/Files) with that Buffer type.
There is a related jira (ARROW-249) for RPC where specific discussion about RPC
should go (opening connections, etc).
