> [C#] Add support for zero-copy reads
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-4502
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4502
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C#
> Reporter: Eric Erhardt
> Assignee: Eric Erhardt
> Priority: Major
> Labels: performance
> Original Estimate: 48h
> Remaining Estimate: 48h
>
> In the Python (and C++) API, you can create a `RecordBatchStreamReader`, and
> if you give it an `InputStream` that supports zero-copy reads, you can get
> back `RecordBatch` objects without allocating new memory and copying all the
> data.
> There is currently no way to read Arrow RecordBatch instances without
> allocating new memory and copying all the data. We should enable this
> scenario in the C# API.
>
> My proposal is to create a new `class ArrowRecordBatchReader : IArrowReader`.
> It's constructor will take a `ReadOnlyMemory<byte> data` parameter, and it
> will be able to read `RecordBatch` instances just like the existing
> `ArrowStreamReader`. As part of this new class, we will refactor any common
> code out of `ArrowStreamReader` in order for the parsing logic to be shared,
> where necessary.
