Hi Sanjay, There was some discussion on the mailing list a little while ago about this [1]. We discussed making endianness part of the IPC metadata. I don't think we've gotten far enough in the implementation to take action on the discussion though.
Right now I think the C++ code at least is endian agnostic, but it hasn't been tested against a big-endian system as far as I know. As referenced in the prior thread (and I don't think its been changed), there is an explicit check for endianness when constructing vectors in Java Cheers, Micah https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/arrow-dev/201604.mbox/%3CCAK7Z5T_0T9hOa=mbJ=V30jc_Em169e=qjpyqnsblrakb8dm...@mail.gmail.com%3E On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 8:57 AM, Sanjay Rao <getsanjay...@live.com> wrote: > Hi, > I read that Integer representation is assumed to LittleEndian in Arrow, > does this mean we cannot use Arrow in Big Endian Systems like SPARC ? > > Thanks,Sanjay
