HaoYang670 opened a new issue, #2524:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/2524
**Which part is this question about**
So far, the `Buffer` doesn't have its own length, which means you can't
slice on data with the length you want.:
```rust
pub struct Buffer {
/// the internal byte buffer.
data: Arc<Bytes>,
/// The offset into the buffer.
offset: usize,
}
```
This is an old question, and related to some bugs (such as #807), and some
performance issues (such as #2510)
I reopen this question because we don't reach a consensus.
Personally, I hope `Buffer` could behave like slice such as `&[u8]`, but we
need more discussion.
Additionally, I hope we could reach a consensus, for example:
- We should add the `length` field, because ...
- we don't need to add this field, because ...
