> If we clone the FFI struct, then it means we need to free the pointer by ourself, but if we free FFI_ArrowArray, then the data in this Array will also be free? Which means we can't free the pointer(until the data are used and ready to free, but in reality we can't hold this useless pointer in a big project for such a long time), which create memory leak. As the raw pointers are converted to `Arc`, they will be released correctly eventually. But the data is still there, so of course you should not release the pointers. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
