BryanCutler commented on issue #1259: ARROW-1047: [Java] Add Generic Reader 
Interface for Stream Format
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1259#issuecomment-341260009
 
 
   @siddharthteotia the Java refactoring is the priority right now so I don't 
want to hinder that, but I would like to get this in for the 0.8 release if 
possible.  I think changes to the ArrowReader should be mostly transparent, 
although there might be conflicts with some of the tests I had to change. What 
about if I try to cherry pick this into the java-vector-refactor branch?  If it 
doesn't go in cleanly then we can put it on hold until the refactor branch is 
merge.

> The ArrowWriter 
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/java/vector/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/vector/file/ArrowWriter.java
>  accepts a WriteableByteChannel where the stream is written
> It would be useful to be able to support other kinds of message framing and 
> transport, like GRPC or HTTP. So rather than writing a complete Arrow stream 
> as a single contiguous byte stream, the component messages (schema, 
> dictionaries, and record batches) would be framed as separate messages in the 
> underlying protocol. 
> So if we were using ProtocolBuffers and gRPC as the underlying transport for 
> the stream, we could encapsulate components of an Arrow stream in objects 
> like:
> {code:language=protobuf}
> message ArrowMessagePB {
>   required bytes serialized_data;
> }
> {code}
> If the transport supports zero copy, that is obviously better than 
> serializing then parsing a protocol buffer.
> We should do this work in C++ as well to support more flexible stream 
> transport.
