>
> For data where the metadata itself is large (> 10000 fields), doing a full
> in-memory reconstruction of a record batch may be impractical if the user's
> goal is to do random access on a potentially small subset of a batch.
> I propose adding an API that enables "cheap" inspection of the record batch
> metadata and reconstruction of fields.
> Because of the flattened buffer and field metadata, at the moment the
> complexity of random field access will scale with the number of fields -- in
> the future we may devise strategies to mitigate this (e.g. storing a
> pre-computed buffer/field lookup table in the schema)
