Arrow IPC file format mindmap

[Yue Ni <ni...@gmail.com>]

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):
