hi folks, I created 6 JIRA issues for adding validation checks for the bit width field that was just added to the columnar format metadata
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9240 The steps that are needed are as follows: * Update compiled Flatbuffers (where relevant) for new field * When reading schemas, assert that bitWidth is either null (backward compatibility case) or 128 (forward compatibility case) I'll do the C++ work so that others can have an example of what to go off of if needed. thanks, Wes
