One other question about schema negotiation: it seems most helpful when Arrow adds new data types to the spec. I.e. some libraries might be on older Arrow format versions and not yet support string view and binary view types. In that case, the consumer might want to ask for the producer to cast to standard string and binary types. But this does rely on the consumer _being able to interpret the producer's schema_, right? A library that supports only an older Arrow format version, and thus that doesn't support view types, might error just in reading the schema produced by a newer version? So this on its own doesn't solve cross-version Arrow format issues, right? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
