+/// A run-end encoding (REE) is a variation of [run-length encoding 
(RLE)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding).
+/// This encoding is good for representing data containing same values 
repeated consecutively
+/// called runs. Each run is represented by the value of data and the index at 
which the run ends.
+///
+/// [`RunEndEncodedArray`] has `run_ends` array and `values` array of same 
length.
+/// The `run_ends` array stores the indexes at which the run ends. The 
`values` array
+/// stores the value of the run. Below example illustrates how a logical array 
is represented in
+/// [`RunEndEncodedArray`]
+///

Review Comment:
   I did add the note. But slicing the physical array will lead to inconsistent 
state. There might be need to slice the logical array encoded by the runs 
array. There is no support for that right now.
