Not to lose sight of the original issue: We [should be able to slice](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/java/vector_schema_root.html#vectorschemaroot) a VectorSchemaRoot containing `NullVector`s, like we do for any other ValueVector types. That `NullVector` does not require a BufferAllocator suggests to me this attribute is optional for any public methods operating on NullVector. Another alternative is to case match on NullVector in https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/release-17.0.0-rc2/java/vector/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/vector/VectorSchemaRoot.java#L340-L341 but that seems like a workaround where conceivably any public ValueVector APIs that require the allocator parameter should work on NullVectors. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
