Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-258:
------------------------------------
See also ARROW-262. I'm working on a patch for that shortly, perhaps we can
then document (and make any redefinitions / modifications if necessary) the
Buffer metadata in a way that can be portable to multiple transport layers. I
think we are already doing that (for example: in an RPC or file setting, the
buffer is an offset relative to the start of the entire RPC message/file, and
any shared memory page id is not meaningful), but we can make this more concrete
> clarify definition of Buffer in context of RPC, IPC, File
