> The spec defines extension types as metadata on Fields I believe the language in the spec is limited to exchange via FFI and serialization via IPC (e.g., Java, Go, and Arrow C++ include extension types as objects with native fields and only serialize when specifically requested). I don't believe it has caused confusing situations in other languages but it could be worth asking others! I will give it a try anyway and see what kind of implementation effort/downstream impacts it may have. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
