Hi all, I'm using the Go Flight client, working off of this example: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/go/arrow/flight/flight_test.go
I've found that there isn't a very convenient way to access the app metadata from a Flight stream, because the ipc.Reader you get from calling flight.NewRecordReader() only exposes the array.Record as you read data from it. This makes sense to me because only Flight defines the App Metadata concept, not the Arrow IPC format on its own. I've been able to work around it by dropping down a level, and building an alternate flight.dataMessageReader but this seems subpar. Am I missing something? Or is there an opportunity to make the result of flight.NewRecordReader() a bit more useful such that it includes the app metadata? Perhaps a type more specific to Flight, not just IPC in general. On the Java side I see that FlightStream has getLatestMetadata() which seems like a pattern worth following. Thanks, Paul
