--------------------------------------------------------------
This is still incomplete -- having {{IpcPayload}} has gotten us most of the way
there. I think we only need to implement a function to return the exact
encapsulated message size given an {{IpcPayload}}, so that an appropriate piece
of memory can be allocated.

> [C++] Develop interface for writing a RecordBatch IPC stream into

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major

> As discussed in recent mailing list thread
> https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b756209052fecb8c28a5eb37db7aecb82a5f5351fa79a9d86f0dba3e@%3Cuser.arrow.apache.org%3E
> The only viable process at the moment for getting an accurate report of
> stream size is to write a simulated stream using {{MockOutputStream}}. This
> is suboptimal for a couple of reasons:
> * Flatbuffers metadata must be created twice
> * Record batch disassembly into IpcPayload must be performed twice
> It seems like an interface with a very constrained public API could be
> provided to deconstruct a sequence of RecordBatches and report the size of
> the produced IPC stream (based on metadata sizes, and padding), and then this
> deconstructed set of IPC payloads can be written out to a stream (e.g. using
> {{FixedSizeBufferWriter}})
