Description

Arrow has a go.mod, but the go modules system expects a certain git tag for Go modules to work.

Based on https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#faqs--multi-module-repositories I believe the tag would be

go/arrow/v0.17.0

Currently:

$ go get github.com/apache/arrow/go/arrow@v0.17.0 
go get github.com/apache/arrow/go/arrow@v0.17.0: github.com/apache/arrow/go/arrow@v0.17.0: invalid version: unknown revision go/arrow/v0.17.0
