Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

  1. Server-side do_get: implement do_get(self, context, ticket) to return a pyarrow.flight.RecordBatchStream wrapping a RecordBatchReader or a list of RecordBatches
  2. Client-side do_get: call reader = client.do_get(ticket); table = reader.read_all() to receive the full stream, or iterate reader for batch-by-batch processing
  3. Server-side do_put: implement do_put(self, context, descriptor, reader, writer) to read incoming batches with reader.read_chunk()
  4. Client-side do_put: call writer, metadata_reader = client.do_put(descriptor, schema); writer.write_batch(batch); writer.close()
  5. Use FlightDescriptor.for_command(bytes) or FlightDescriptor.for_path(list) to identify the data stream on both ends
