The flag can be determined by an environmental variable: > ARROW_ENABLE_UNSAFE_MEMORY_ACCESS, in addition to the system properties. The > system properties have higher priority than the environmental variable. > 2. There is an old and a new system property for this flag. To disable > boundary checking, both the old and new properties must be set to true, which > is undesirable: > !screenshot-1.png! -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
