Micah Kornfield commented on ARROW-8158:
----------------------------------------
[~tianchen92] The issue is there isn't a clear way to get the length of an
individual VarChar or Bytes element (one needs to go through the holder or
access the offsets buffer directly). A similar issue exists for lists.

> For string data buffer and base variable width vector can we have a way to
> get length of the data?
> For instance, in ArrowColumnVector in StringAccessor we use
> stringResult.start and stringResult.end, instead we would like to get length
> of the data through an exposed function.
