   > Before I dive too deep into the review, I think the PR description is a 
bit lacking in high level design and assumptions. For example, "Introduces a 
"batch stash" optimization that passes batches as opaque u64 handles through 
the JVM instead of doing full Arrow FFI export/import": so to steal some C++ 
lingo, we're basically stashing pointers into u64 and reinterpret casting as a 
pointer, and we can do this because we know more things about the life cycle of 
these batches than the Arrow FFI interface is designed for? The FFI interface 
provides safety guarantees and call back support, managing life cycle. We know 
things about the life cycle since we control the application on both sides of 
the FFI boundary, so we can bypass some of the protections that Arrow FFI 
otherwise affords?
   > 
   > Is that the high level context?
   
   I added new sections to the PR description to try and summarize this.
