> The only issue I can see with this approach is that in the case of variable width vectors (like utf8)---where we have a data buffer where we might reference the same position multiple times from the offset buffer This is impossible given the [layout](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#variable-size-binary-layout) of the binary types. It is possible for the [binary view](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#variable-size-binary-view-layout) types, though. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
