Brian Hulette commented on ARROW-998:
-------------------------------------
IPC.md suggests it should be 8-byte aligned right now, so seems like 64-byte
aligning was technically correct.
> [Doc] File format documents incorrect schema location

> Key: ARROW-998
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-998
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Brian Hulette
>
> The documentation for the file format makes it look like the schema is at the
> beginning of the file, since it "contains" the streaming format
> (https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/format/IPC.md#file-format), but
> in reality the schema is in the footer
> (https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/format/File.fbs#L29)
