-------------------------------
??In general, a slice can be used instead of a reader/writer index pattern.??
[~jnadeau] , I don't quite understand, dose this mean hold a slice {{ArrowBuf}}
in {{ArrowBuf}} to replace reader/writer index? doesn't this introduce more
heap memory? Could you please explain a little more, thanks a lot!

> Reader and writer index and functionality doesn't belong on a chunk of memory
> and is due to inheritance from ByteBuf. As part of removing ByteBuf
> inheritance, we should also remove reader and writer indexes from ArrowBuf
> functionality. It wastes heap memory for rare utility. In general, a slice
> can be used instead of a reader/writer index pattern.
