list.
> [Format] Register media types (MIME types) for Apache Arrow formats to IANA
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-7396
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7396
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Format
> Reporter: Kouhei Sutou
> Priority: Major
>
> See "MIME types" thread for details:
> https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b15726d0c0da2223ba1b45a226ef86263f688b20532a30535cd5e267%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E
> Summary:
> * If we don't register our media types for Apache Arrow formats (IPC File
> Format and IPC Streaming Format) to IANA, we should use "x-" prefix such as
> "application/x-apache-arrow-file".
> * It may be better that we reuse the same manner as Apache Thrift. Apache
> Thrift registers their media types as "application/vnd.apache.thrift.XXX". If
> we use the same manner as Apache Thrift, we will use
> "application/vnd.apache.arrow.file" or something.
> TODO:
> * Decide which media types should we register. (Do we need vote?)
> * Register our media types to IANA.
> ** Media types page:
> https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
> ** Application form for new media types:
> https://www.iana.org/form/media-types
