Wes McKinney created ARROW-8051:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: [Go] Dependency pmezard/go-difflib is unmaintained
                 Key: ARROW-8051
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8051
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Go
            Reporter: Wes McKinney


I saw this error (transient?) in CI

{code}
Parsing meta tags from https://golang.org/x/xerrors?go-get=1 (status code 200)
get "golang.org/x/xerrors": found meta tag get.metaImport{Prefix:"golang.org/x/xerrors", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://go.googlesource.com/xerrors"} at https://golang.org/x/xerrors?go-get=1
go: finding golang.org/x/xerrors v0.0.0-20191204190536-9bdfabe68543
go: github.com/pmezard/go-difflib@v1.0.0: unknown revision v1.0.0
go: error loading module requirements
{code}

Which led me to https://github.com/pmezard/go-difflib. It seems this package is not maintained. Should it be depended on?
