Wes McKinney created ARROW-1785: ----------------------------------- Summary: [Format] Remove VectorLayout metadata from metadata Key: ARROW-1785 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1785 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++, Format, Java - Vectors Reporter: Wes McKinney Fix For: 0.8.0
Based on the discussions on the mailing list, we should remove the VectorLayout metadata from the Flatbuffers spec for 0.8.0 since we are already breaking the metadata. We should instead make the buffer layouts an immutable part of the format specification so there is no ambiguity about what buffers accompany each type of field in an Arrow payload see also ARROW-1693 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
