Liya Fan commented on ARROW-7746:
---------------------------------
It seems the PR for ARROW-7610 is already big enough. To make code reviewing
easier, I have opened ARROW-7955 to track the support for file/stream IPC.
> [Java] Support large buffer for Flight
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-7746
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7746
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Java
> Reporter: Liya Fan
> Priority: Major
>
> The motivation is described in
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/6323#issuecomment-580137629.
> When the size of the ArrowBuf exceeds 2GB, our flighing library does not work
> due to integer overflow.
> This is because internally, we have used some data structures which are based
> on 32-bit integers. To resolve the problem, we must revise/replace the data
> structures to make them support 64-bit integers.
> As a concrete example, we can see that when the server sends data through
> IPC, an org.apache.arrow.flight.ArrowMessage object is created, and is
> wrapped as an InputStream through the `asInputStream` method. In this method,
> we use data stuctures like java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream and
> io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf, which are based on 32-bit integers (we can observe
> that NettyArrowBuf#length and ByteArrayOutputStream#count are both 32-bit
> integers).
