alamb opened a new issue #208:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/208


   *Note*: migrated from original JIRA: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12265
   
   Arrow arrays can share the same backing store, even if the array is just a 
"view" of a slice of another array.
   
   Yet, when `flight_data_from_arrow_batch` encodes the arrays into a 
FlightData, it blindly copies the entire buffer ready to be sent over the wire.
   
   Thus, for example, when DataFusion uses the `arrow::compute::limit` operator 
to return a few elements of an array, we still end up with a the full 
(potentially) large array being sent over the wire.
   
    
   
   Since encoding the array in a FlightData involves copying the data anyway, 
perhaps it would be beneficial to take the Array length in consideration and 
copy only the parts of the buffer that contain actual data.
