//! Memory-mapped Arrow IPC file reader.
//!
//! # Overview
//! Zero-copy reader for Arrow IPC files. Parses the footer/schema, loads dictionaries, and
//! exposes batches as `Table` or aggregates as `SuperTable`.
//!
//! # Zero-Copy
//! Buffers are read directly when 64-byte aligned (as produced by this
//! crate’s writers); otherwise they are copied via SIMD-friendly allocations.
//! This ensures data is in the optimal format for downstream calculations upfront,
//! though is a notable limitation or those who aren't planning for that use case
//! at the present time.
//!
//! # Platform:
//! Uses POSIX `mmap(2)`, supported on Unix-like systems only.
//!
//! # Reader spec
//! Follows the Arrow IPC specification
//! <https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-file-format>.

/// ## Zero-Copy behaviour
/// - Currently zero-copy for 64-byte aligned writers, otherwise it copied into SIMD-friendly buffers.
/// - The current method to guarantee zero-copy is to use the `TableWriter` from this crate, and the resulting
///   file can be zero-copy read.
/// - `.arrow` files written with other implementations e.g., `pyarrow`, `arrow-rs` are usually 8-byte aligned,
///   and thus will copy at the current time. Though, this means their buffers are often not 64-byte aligned and
///   thus require re-allocations before processing with SIMD-kernels and related scenarios.
/// - Hence, this library has initially prioritised this high-performance scenario, though in future we may
///   add support for the general case, and invite community contributions.
///
/// ## Platform
/// -  This implementation uses POSIX `mmap(2)` for zero-copy access, and is therefore
///    supported only on Unix-like operating systems (Linux, macOS, BSDs, Solaris, etc.).
/// - There are no plans to support Windows, however PR's will be accepted.
///
/// ## Overview
/// - Parses footer/schema, loads dictionaries, and exposes batches as `Table` or composites as `SuperTable`.
