Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-317:
------------------------------------
I implemented this in pandas prototyping:
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas2/pull/40/files#diff-3d95cc22572f59dbfc29d31c19c9bed4R41
per https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas2/issues/44 my working plan is to make
pandas depend on libarrow so we can all this buffer wrangling / memory
management in one place
> [C++] Implement zero-copy Slice method on arrow::Buffer that retains
> reference to parent

> This will help prevent referenced memory from being garbage-collected while
> it is referenced by other buffers (for example, in an IPC setting, where we
> construct Arrow vectors/arrays without copying the input memory).
> Closely related to this: resizeable buffers that are referenced by other
> buffers should return error status when calling {{Resize}} (if possible).
