Description
For cases where we have a known shared memory region, it would be great if the ipc.Writer (and by extension ipc.Reader?) had the ability to write out everything but the actual buffers holding the data. That way we can still utilize the ipc mechanisms to communicate without having to serialize all the underlying data across the wire.
This seems like it should be possible since the `RecordBatch` flatbuffers only contain the metadata and the underlying data buffers are appended later. We just need to skip appending the underlying data buffers.
sbinet thoughts?
