Hi Micah, Thank you for pick up this topic. It is great to discuss the support of Big Endian in Java implementation in the mailing list. I may miss the technical blockers. Any comments are appreciated.
Best Regards, Kazuaki Ishizaki From: Micah Kornfield <emkornfi...@gmail.com> To: dev <dev@arrow.apache.org> Date: 2020/08/15 08:36 Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Java] Supporting Big Endian Kazuaki Ishizak has started working on Big Endian support in Java (including setting up CI for it). Thank you! We previously discussed support for Big Endian architectures in C++ [1] and generally agreed that it was a reasonable thing to do. Similar to C++ I think as long as we have a working CI setup it is reasonable for Java to support Big Endian machines. But I think there might be differing opinions so it is worth a discussion to see if there are technical blockers or other reasons for not supporting Big Endian architectures in the existing java implementation.
