URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/273


   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   When [testing Ballista on a Raspberry Pi 
cluster](https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/243) using a 32-bit 
OS, it was noted that whilst we don't _officially_ support 32-bit builds at 
present, we only actually have one specific test case that fails for that arch. 
To ensure our continued robustness across architectures, I'd like to add some 
minimal CI support to ensure that this doesn't slip.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   - Add a new CI check that runs the tests using a 32-bit Linux build
   - Fix any existing arch-related assumptions in the codebase (e.g. hardcoding 
ptr sizes at 8 bytes instead of `std::mem::size_of::<usize>()`)
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   - Explicitly disallowing compilation for 32-bit targets: this might impact 
on future possibilities like targeting wasm32 for Rust-in-browser use cases 
(less important for DataFusion than Arrow perhaps, but I can personally 
envisage at least one use case for this)
   - Doing nothing: this feels lazy 🤷‍♂️
   
   **Additional context**
   This work will depend on apache/arrow-rs#262 (equivalent work for Arrow 
proper).
