Yes, a canonical extension type would provide zero-copy interop. The underlying representation could still be identical (a contiguous buffer of 8-byte values for example) which would have the underlying physical type of uint64 or something. Anything that recognizes the metadata and chooses to identify the extension type could then be able to interpret the values accordingly as complex64 values. I highly recommend putting together a proposal for these as canonical extension types. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
