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?)
Maarten Breddels / @maartenbreddels:
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type (about using x. or x-):Media types in this tree cannot be registered. According to RFC 6838 (published in January 2013), any use of types in the unregistered tree is strongly discouraged. In addition, subtypes prefixed with x- or X- are no longer considered to be members of this tree.
See "MIME types" thread for details: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b15726d0c0da2223ba1b45a226ef86263f688b20532a30535cd5e267%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E
