Description
Am facing an endianness issue on s390x(big endian) when converting the data read through flight to pandas data frame.
(1) table.validate() fails with error
```Java
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/2.py", line 51, in
table.validate()
File "pyarrow/table.pxi", line 1232, in pyarrow.lib.Table.validate
File "pyarrow/error.pxi", line 99, in pyarrow.lib.check_status
pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: Column 1: In chunk 0: Invalid: Negative offsets in binary array
```
(2) table.to_pandas() gives a segmentation fault
____________
Here is a sample code that I am using:
```python
from pyarrow import flight
import os
import json
flight_endpoint = os.environ.get("flight_server_url", "grpc+tls://...local:443")
print(flight_endpoint)
#
class TokenClientAuthHandler(flight.ClientAuthHandler):
"""An example implementation of authentication via handshake.
With the default constructor, the user token is read from the environment: TokenClientAuthHandler().
You can also pass a user token as parameter to the constructor, TokenClientAuthHandler(yourtoken).
"""
def \_\_init\_\_(self, token: str = None):
super().\_\_init\__()
if( token != None):
strToken = strToken = 'Bearer {}'.format(token)
else:
strToken = 'Bearer {}'.format(os.environ.get("some_auth_token"))
self.token = strToken.encode('utf-8')
#print(self.token)
def authenticate(self, outgoing, incoming):
outgoing.write(self.token)
self.token = incoming.read()
def get_token(self):
return self.token
readClient = flight.FlightClient(flight_endpoint)
readClient.authenticate(TokenClientAuthHandler())
cmd = json.dumps(\{...})
descriptor = flight.FlightDescriptor.for_command(cmd)
flightInfo = readClient.get_flight_info(descriptor)
reader = readClient.do_get(flightInfo.endpoints[0].ticket)
table = reader.read_all()
print(table)
print(table.num_columns)
print(table.num_rows)
table.validate()
table.to_pandas()
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Use the provided Python reproduction on Linux s390x, starting at FlightClient.do_get(), reader.read_all(), and the pyarrow table validation path in pyarrow/table.pxi and error.pxi. Trace how the Flight data is interpreted on big-endian systems and verify that table.validate() and table.to_pandas() complete without invalid offsets or a segmentation fault.
