Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Clarify the REE format and the intended IPC file/stream scope first, then locate the JavaScript reader and its tests; done means REE data can be read from the agreed input sources with coverage for the supported cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Type: enhancement
Describe the enhancement requested

As far as I can tell, REE isn’t currently supported in arrow-js. Is this already in the works?

We may be interested in helping by contribute it, especially if it would be acceptable to only support reading it from IPC file/stream (that’s our and I would expect most people’s use case).
