We can't chop the buffers up into a collection of smaller buffers without losing in-memory interoperability via the C API. I think to make this work, we would need to have implementations of `LargeMemory<T>`, `LargeReadOnlyMemory<T>`, `LargeSpan<T>`, `LargeReadOnlySpan<T>`, `LargeMemoryManager<T>` and `ILargeMemoryManager<T>` which could be used to wrap native allocations and allow safe managed access to it. As I suggested in https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/12221, nothing stops us from defining these types in the C# Arrow implementation itself, though having them in the standard runtime is probably better for code sharing and reuse. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
