Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-5374:
-------------------------------------
[~pitrou] that is not expected to work. {{read_record_batch}} operates at the
level of a single encapsulated RecordBatch IPC message, not a complete stream.
The error message looks incorrect though.
> [Python] pa.read_record_batch() doesn't work
