viirya opened a new issue, #41609: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/41609
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. This is a follow up of #40038. In #40038, we fixed null offset buffer issue for `BaseVariableWidthVector`. For empty vector, instead of a empty offset buffer which turns to be a null buffer through C Data Interface, we export a non-empty offset which is supposed to contain zero value. But the initialization code has a bug in the PR #40043, so the offset buffer is not initialized. Note that this is not a regression because the exported vector never works due to null offset buffer. ### Component(s) Java -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
