[jira] [Created] (ARROW-1785) [Format] Remove VectorLayout metadata from metadata

Wes McKinney created ARROW-1785:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: [Format] Remove VectorLayout metadata from metadata
                 Key: ARROW-1785
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1785
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++, Format, Java - Vectors
            Reporter: Wes McKinney
             Fix For: 0.8.0


Based on the discussions on the mailing list, we should remove the VectorLayout metadata from the Flatbuffers spec for 0.8.0 since we are already breaking the metadata. We should instead make the buffer layouts an immutable part of the format specification so there is no ambiguity about what buffers accompany each type of field in an Arrow payload
