   > Maybe we should just document that the Rust implementation always uses (and writes) little endian. We can asses support for running on big endian architectures if there is sufficient demand
   
   There seem to be some demand in big-endian support:
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8207
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/10026
   
   We merge the fixes when someone finds them so we could say -- arrow-rs supports big endian on a best effort basis.
   
   I would consider closing old big-endian related issues as not planned:
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/120
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/121
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/122
   - this issue
   
   If anyone needs big-endian support for something they can file an issue.
