Arrow.DecodeError exception (Arrow v0.1.0)

Error returned by the decoders (Arrow.Ipc.Stream.decode/1, Arrow.Ipc.File.decode/1, Arrow.Json.decode/1) and raised by their decode!/1 variants.

The :kind field classifies the failure:

:unsupported — the input uses an Arrow feature this library deliberately does not implement: Union, BinaryView / Utf8View, ListView / LargeListView, RunEndEncoded, Float16, IPC body compression, big-endian payloads, delta dictionaries, Tensor / SparseTensor messages.
:malformed — the input is corrupt, truncated, or internally inconsistent. Legacy (pre-0.15 / V4) IPC file framing also surfaces here, as it is indistinguishable from a corrupt Block offset.
