Wes McKinney created ARROW-8368:
-----------------------------------
Summary: [Format] In C interface, clarify resource management for
consumers needing only a subset of child fields in ArrowArray
Key: ARROW-8368
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8368
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Format
Reporter: Wes McKinney
The current implication of the C Interface is that only moving a single child
out of an ArrowArray is allowed.
Questions:
* Should it be allowed to move multiple children, as long as they are moved at
the same time, and the parent is released after?
* In the event that children have disjoint internal resources, should there be
a clarification around moved children having their resources released
independently?
