@alexander-beedie Arrow only *recommends* alignment for internal processes, it [*requires*](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#buffer-alignment-and-padding) it for IPC. > Implementations are recommended to allocate memory on aligned addresses (multiple of 8- or 64-bytes) and pad (overallocate) to a length that is a multiple of 8 or 64 bytes. **When serializing Arrow data for interprocess communication, these alignment and padding requirements are enforced.** If flight is handing out misaligned buffers to IPC it is non-compliant and *must* be fixed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
