spanglerco opened a new pull request, #37862: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/37862
### Rationale for this change Fixes #37861. ### What changes are included in this PR? Add `BinaryArray.GetBytes(int, out bool)` overload that enables `StringArray.GetString` to reliably determine if the value is null or empty without needing an additional call to `IsNull`. ### Are these changes tested? Added a test for `StringArray.GetString` (which didn't appear to have any existing tests). Two of the cases fail without this change. I also updated the tests that call `BinaryArray.GetBytes` to use the new overload instead of a separate call to `IsNull` as extra validation. ### Are there any user-facing changes? New public overload to an existing API. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
