Add pointer to `GenericByteViewArray` from docs 2. Add examples of using `ByteView` 3. Add builder style APIs to `ByteView` <!-- There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR. --> # Are there any user-facing changes? <!-- If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be updated before approving the PR. --> <!--- If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `breaking change` label. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
