Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-750:
--------------------------------------
Two questions :
1) what is the process for evolving the memory layout specification?
2) string and binary types are currently not part of the memory layout
specification (instead they are assumed to be backed by physical list arrays).
Should we do the same for large string / binary types, i.e. add a large list
physical type?

> These are string and binary types that use 64-bit offsets. Java will not need
> to implement these types for the time being, but they are needed when
> representing very large datasets in C++
