   > But as far as I understand Apache.Arrow.Tests namespace is not publicly 
available. Is that correct?
   
   Yes that's correct, to expose this functionality publicly it would need to 
be moved into the `Apache.Arrow` project or a new project.
   
   I don't imagine we'd want to expose the `ArrowReaderVerifier` or 
`ArrayComparer` classes directly, as once something is in the public API it's 
hard to change later, but adding new methods for comparing arrays, record 
batches and tables to the public API would be useful.
   
   Comparing tables is a little bit more complicated than the existing 
functionality for comparing record batches, because two tables that contain the 
same data but are chunked differently should be considered equal. If you expect 
chunking to be the same, you might want to start with adding a way to compare 
record batches and compare tables by comparing all of their record batches.
