**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** <!-- A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] (This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for this feature, in addition to the *what*) --> Often people want to store arrow data in memory, and in some cases are potentially willing to pay a premium for reduced memory usage. Currently various array types can have "bloated" memory footprints, for example: * Arrays can be sliced, with potentially unreferenced data buffers and child arrays * Dictionaries can contain duplicate entries * View arrays can contain unreferenced data **Describe the solution you'd like** <!-- A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. --> I would like to propose a minify kernel in arrow-select that allows performing this minification. It should take a non-exhaustive/build-pattern `MinifyOptions` struct to allow controlling how this logic is performed. Ideally it would be possible to move the logic that currently resides in the IPCWriter over to use this kernel. **Describe alternatives you've considered** <!-- A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. --> **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
