Good evening With support for testing against integration files now done, I've resumed work on the IPC reader. If I don't encounter trouble reading the existing files, I expect to be done with this work by the end of the weekend. I had taken the approach of one large PR to include all Rust-supported Arrow types.
I'm not sure of how long the writer would take, but I remain committed to having this work completed by 1.0. I have to catch up on null-type roundtrip and the padding alignment work as I haven't been able to keep abreast with development these last few months. Also, the Rust flatbuffer issues that we've had haven't progressed in the relevant repo, so it still makes ergonomics not great, but at least our users don't have to worry about that. @Andy I have good experience with gRPC in Rust, and also want to see Flight support landing soon.
