The reference [here](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#byte-order-endianness) suggests it is acceptable for implementations to simply not support files with non-native byte order > At first we will return an error when trying to read a Schema with an endianness that does not match the underlying system. The reference implementation is focused on Little Endian and provides tests for it. Eventually we may provide automatic conversion via byte swapping. I therefore think an acceptable approach would be to return an error if attempting to read a file with a non-native byte order -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
