**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** As part of https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/5554 @hzuo added the ability to enforce alignment We could add a `with_require_alignment` to the [`FileDecoder`](https://docs.rs/arrow-ipc/51.0.0/arrow_ipc/reader/struct.FileDecoder.html) However, given the way the [`read_dictionary`](https://docs.rs/arrow-ipc/51.0.0/arrow_ipc/reader/fn.read_dictionary.html) is structured, there was no way to add this option without breaking the API, as @tustvold noted https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/5554/files#r1549239776 Thus the require_alignment argument is now not exposed **Describe the solution you'd like** It would be nice to have a way to add new options in a way that did not break API compatibility going forward, and expose the `requirement_alignment` feature **Describe alternatives you've considered** @tustvold suggests https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/5554/files#r1550178314 > possibly some sort of `Decoder` struct with a member function on it... > > Ideally it would be designed so that it could be shared across things like `StreamDecoder` and `FileDecoder` **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
