Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-2835:
-------------------------------------
Do we want to make any changes here for 0.11?
> [C++] ReadAt/WriteAt are inconsistent with moving the files position
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-2835
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2835
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Dimitri Vorona
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.11.0
>
>
> Right now, there is inconsistent behaviour regarding moving the files
> position pointer after calling ReadAt or WriteAt. For example, the default
> implementation of ReadAt seeks to the desired offset and calls Read which
> moves the position pointer. MemoryMappedFile::ReadAt, however, doesn't change
> the position. WriteableFile::WriteAt seem to move the position in the current
> implementation, but there is no docstring which prescribes this behaviour.
> Antoine suggested that *At methods shouldn't touch the position and it makes
> more sense, IMHO. The change isn't huge and doesn't seem to break anything
> internally, but it might break the existing user code.
