Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-3476:
---------------------------------------
[~kiszk] Does this issue need to remain opened?
> [Java] mvn test in memory fails on a big-endian platform
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-3476
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3476
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Java
> Reporter: Kazuaki Ishizaki
> Priority: Major
>
> Apache Arrow is becoming commonplace to exchange data among important
> emerging analytics frameworks such as Pandas, Numpy, and Spark.
> [IBM Z|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Z] is one of platforms to process
> critical transactions such as bank or credit card. Users of IBM Z want to
> extract insights from these transactions using the emerging analytics systems
> on IBM Z Linux. These analytics pipelines can be also fast and effective on
> IBM Z Linux by using Apache Arrow on memory.
> From the technical perspective, since IBM Z Linux uses big-endian data
> format, it is not possible to use Apache Arrow in this pipeline. If Apache
> Arrow could support big-endian, the use case would be expanded.
> When I ran test case of Apache arrow on a big-endian platform (ppc64be),
> {{mvn test}} in memory causes a failure due to an assertion.
> In {{TestEndianess.testLittleEndian}} test suite, the assertion occurs during
> an allocation of a {{RootAllocator}} class.
