Hi there, Recently I read Arrow's documentation about columnar format ( https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html) and flatbuffers structures (Message.fbs/File.fbs/etc), but feel it is not easy to connect each pieces about what I read, so I created a mindmap to visualize the basic structure, in particular about IPC file format.
It is not formal documentation, and it highlights only the most important structures of the file, and may even contain some errors due to my limited understanding, but anyway I posted it here and hope this might be useful for other people reading relevant documents. Mindmap (a markdown file essentially): https://markmap.js.org/repl/#?d=gist%3Aniyue%2F6c5918795bc7c06fc16f87b21d988377%3Aarrow_ipc_file_format.md Regards, Yue
