Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-5331:
---------------------------------------
One counter-argument against this is that people might want to send something
else than record batches (e.g. tensors), or perhaps even a mixed stream of
different things. I'm not sure whether we care about supporting this.

> [C++] FlightDataStream should be higher-level
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-5331
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5331
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++, FlightRPC
> Affects Versions: 0.13.0
> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, {{FlightDataStream}} is expected to provide {{FlightPayload}}
> objects. This requires the user to handle IPC serialization themselves.
> Instead, it could provide higher-level {{FlightData}} objects (perhaps a
> simple struct containing a {{FlightDescriptor}} and a {{RecordBatch}}),
> letting Flight handle IPC encoding.
