Go becomes the 4th language to be a part of the Arrow integration tests (!)

[Wes McKinney <we...@gmail.com>]

I'm excited to announce that Go has become the 4th language to
officially participate in the Arrow binary protocol integration tests,
after Java, C++, and JavaScript:

https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/4ba2763150459c9eb4139e5954d9b5526b8ef0ee

This is a huge milestone toward making Go a first-class citizen in the
Apache Arrow world. Congrats to Sebastien, Stuart, Alexandre, and the
rest of the Go contributors!

as you wrote, it was a team effort :)

we now "just" need to implement Map, Dictionary, Union, Extension and (full
support for) Decimal128 arrays.

@Antoine -- on that I'm not sure. Having bidirectional read/write
tests for each pair of languages feels like the most secure approach
(but maybe not?), so if the runtimes grow too long, we might split up
the test matrix into multiple jobs instead of a single monolithic job.

This is extremely good news.

One question though about our integration testing strategy.  It seems
right now we're testing all n² possible combinations (currently n = 4).
 That won't scale very far.  Perhaps at some point we should switch to a
O(n) testing strategy?  For example testing all consecutive pairs along
a bidirectional ring (e.g. "C++ -> Java", "Java -> JS", "JS -> Go", "Go
-> Java", then the other way round).

Regards

Antoine.

This is awesome kudos to everyone that made it happen!
