Weston Pace commented on ARROW-13036:
-------------------------------------
We did recommend `.arrows` in the IANA application. Wording-wise it seems it
would be a bit awkward to try and fit into either spot. The FAQ doesn't really
get down to that level of detail and is somewhat narrative. I think it could
belong in the format doc, perhaps adding it early before the tone turns
technical and changing
FROM:
{code:java}
We define a “file format” supporting random access that is build with the
stream format. The file starts and ends with a magic string ARROW1 (plus
padding).{code}
TO:
{code:java}
We define a “file format” supporting random access that is build with the
stream format. We recommend using ".arrow" as the file extension. The file
starts and ends with a magic string ARROW1 (plus padding).

> [Doc] Mention recommended file extension(s) for Arrow IPC

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 5.0.0

>
> As asked on the ML, we should probably recommend a file extension for Arrow
> IPC.
> For the Arrow IPC file format, our IANA application mentions ".arrow".
> For the Arrow IPC stream, I don't think we mentioned anything, but perhaps
> ".arrows" is a reasonable suggestion.
> This may be mentioned in the FAQ and/or in the format spec.
