This allows us to implement [chunked transfer encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding) manually. Other servers may implement chunked transfer encoding automatically at the cost of an undesirable new layer of buffering. Arrow IPC streams already offer a natural way of chunking large amounts of tabular data. It's not a general requirement, but in this example each chunk corresponds to one Arrow record batch.
