Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-809:
------------------------------------
There is some buffer slicing happening on the IPC write path already:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/ipc/writer.cc#L207.
It needs to be made consistent (+ well tested), though
> C++: Writing sliced record batch to IPC writes the entire array
> ---------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-809
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-809
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Itai Incze
> Assignee: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.3.0
>
>
> The bug can be triggered through python:
> {code}
> import pyarrow.parquet
> array = pyarrow.array.from_pylist([1] * 1000000)
> rb = pyarrow.RecordBatch.from_arrays([array], ['a'])
> rb2 = rb.slice(0,2)
> with open('/tmp/t.arrow', 'wb') as f:
> w = pyarrow.ipc.FileWriter(f, rb.schema)
> w.write_batch(rb2)
> w.close()
> {code}
> which will result in a big file:
> {code}
> $ ll /tmp/t.arrow
> -rw-rw-r-- 1 itai itai 800618 Apr 12 13:22 /tmp/t.arrow
> {code}
