Weston Pace commented on ARROW-15065:
-------------------------------------
Per ARROW-15053 it seems that the preferred behavior might actually be to
replace "nbytes" with the ReferencedBufferSize value and make a new method for
the existing value.
[~jorisvandenbossche] Does this seem correct? This would be a
backwards-incompatible change.

> This could be a method on arrays, chunked arrays, record batches, and tables.
> This method takes array offsets into account.
> We should probably add this alongside the existing nbytes field with clear
> commenting about the difference between the two of them. Both can be useful
> depending on the need.
