   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   The underlying implementation of arrow arrays has changed significantly due 
to the work in https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/3880
   
   There are now several important classes such as `ScalarBuffer`, 
`NullBuffer`, `Buffer` `PrimitiveArray`, etc that underlying the arrays in 
addition to the "classic" `ArrayData`. In addition after 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/3879 is complete I believe these 
types will be more publicly exposed through the various Arrow APIs. 
   
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   I would like documentation / diagrams / something that briefly explains the 
key structures  ad how they are related to each other. 
   
   
   Perhaps we can take inspiration (or copy/modify) the wonderful guide that 
@jorgecarleitao wrote for arrow2:
