   Quite possibly, I think the field is per column and if you want to change 
dictionary part way through, you need to reserialize it, even if it is actually 
reverting to a dictionary sent before.
   
   > I believe the spec calls a new dictionary for the same field a "delta 
dictionary batch"
   
   The 
[spec](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#dictionary-messages) 
states
   
   > Alternatively, if isDelta is set to false, then the dictionary replaces 
the existing dictionary for the same ID.
   
   So I don't think we need to support delta dictionaries in order to unblock 
this ticket, we can just send the entire dictionary again
