> > More specifically for the issue above ([apache/arrow-rs#9716](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/9716)), the problem wasn't just about null vs non-null buffer, but rather the fact that a Utf8/Binary view is supposed to have an offset buffer of length N+1 > > There is no offsets buffer in BinaryView. There is a views buffer which is supposed to be length N (*not* N+1). Sorry, was talking about variable length binary/utf8 [layout](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Intro.html#variable-length-binary-and-string) (_The offsets buffer is always one element longer than the array._) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
