vibhatha opened a new pull request, #41676:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/41676
### Rationale for this change
`TypeLayout` contains functions to get the buffer count for a particular
type and get the basic layout.
### What changes are included in this PR?
This feature is implemented using only `ArrowType`. But for variadic buffer
containing types, this approach is not feasible. So this PR introduces a new
API which considers the vector itself along with the type. And this PR
deprecates the older API which only used the `ArrowType`
### Are these changes tested?
Yes
### Are there any user-facing changes?
Yes, the older API is deprecated and a new API has been introduced.
**This PR includes breaking changes to public APIs.**
The functions `TypeLayout.getTypeBufferCount` and
`TypeLayout.getTypeLayout` have been updated such that older API depcreated
while the new overloaded (same function) becomes the proposed new API.
