> Basically, the `ArrowArrayView` doesn't care how the memory it's pointing to got there (i.e., there's no requirement that an `ArrowArray` ever existed). This is mostly helpful for reading IPC: the decoder first fills in an ArrowArrayView and only allocates the `ArrowArray` if requested. OK, understood! I see the C doc comment actually mentions this: *"use it to represent a hypothetical ArrowArray that does not exist yet, or use it to validate the buffers of a future ArrowArray."*. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
