alamb opened a new issue #195: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/195
*Note*: migrated from original JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11847 Filing this because it has bitten me once or twice. The name `null_buffer` makes me *think* that I'm getting a buffer that indicates (when true) that the corresponding value is null. But in actuality, we get back a buffer that indicates(when true) that the corresponding value is valid. I'm wondering if there is a reason for this discrepancy or if it could make sense to rename `null_buffer` to `valid_buffer`? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
