Wes McKinney created ARROW-1409: ----------------------------------- Summary: [Format] Use for "page" attribute in Buffer in metadata Key: ARROW-1409 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1409 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Bug Components: Format Reporter: Wes McKinney Fix For: 1.0.0
This attribute is currently unused in any Arrow implementation. I think the original idea is that the "page" might indicate a particular shared memory page, so that a record batch could be spread across multiple memory regions. The downside of this unused attribute is that Buffer metadata takes 24 bytes instead of 16 due to padding. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
