Hi Micah, Thanks, I am trying to write Java examples with Java libraries of Apache Arrow on Big Endian system, I already got JARs built, this is part of a research I am doing. I ran "mvn test" on Big Endian system and it failed in TestEndianess, kindly let me know if at least Java version of Apache Arrow will run on Big Endian system. Thanks,Sanjay
