-------------------------------

Any update on this task? Should we start a vote for what [~maartenbreddels] proposed to move this forward?

> Summary:
>   * If we don't register our media types for Apache Arrow formats (IPC File Format and IPC Streaming Format) to IANA, we should use "x-" prefix such as "application/x-apache-arrow-file".
>   * It may be better that we reuse the same manner as Apache Thrift. Apache Thrift registers their media types as "application/vnd.apache.thrift.XXX". If we use the same manner as Apache Thrift, we will use "application/vnd.apache.arrow.file" or something.
> TODO:
>   * Decide which media types should we register. (Do we need vote?)
>   * Register our media types to IANA.
>   ** Media types page: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
>   ** Application form for new media types: https://www.iana.org/form/media-types
