paleolimbot opened a new issue, #622: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-nanoarrow/issues/622
Neither the IPC reader nor the IPC writer support dictionary encoding. The lack of writer support is problematic for the R bindings because the `factor` type is converted by default to a dictionary-encoded string; the lack of reader support is problematic because the IPC reader is currently forced to error for streams produced elsewhere, many of which will happily emit dictionary messages. This also complicates our integration testing since currently we have to skip any file that includes a dictionary. Delta dictionaries are probably out of scope for the initial level of support. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
