bjchambers opened a new issue #808: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/808
**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** I'd like to take the bitwise and (or) of sliced buffers without needing to materialize the offsets. This can be achieved within Arrow using `buffer_bin_and` (`buffer_bin_or`), but those methods are not exposed. It should be possible to use `bit_slice` to slice a buffer and then apply them, but (1) if the offset is not aligned it needs to materialize the resulting buffer and (2) if the offset is aligned it doesn't work due to #807. **Describe the solution you'd like** Expose the `buffer_bin_and`, `buffer_bin_or` and other possibly useful methods for working with buffers. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Using `bit_slice` and `&`, but that has the problems as noted. **Additional context** Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
