> I tend to agree with narrowing the scope of alignment enforcement: it's part of the contract of the arrow format that buffers be aligned appropriately for the integers etc stored in them. To be nitpicky, the Arrow format doesn't _require_ anything about alignment. Implementations can choose to enforce some requirements if they wish to (which implies the kind of opportunistic realignment shenanigans discussed in this PR). Also, my view is that the problems with unaligned buffers are largely theoretical until a concrete problem is reliably diagnosed as such. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
