Jorge Leitão created ARROW-14680:
------------------------------------

             Summary: [C++] NullArray should not expect 1 buffer.
                 Key: ARROW-14680
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14680
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++
            Reporter: Jorge Leitão


When round-tripping over the C data interface, the validation of the NullArray 
requests 1 buffer. However, [the specification requires 
none|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#null-layout].

This also happens when creating a NullArray - the below errors:

```
import pyarrow

pyarrow.NullArray.from_buffers(pyarrow.null(), 10, [])
> ValueError: Type's expected number of buffers (1) did not match the passed 
> number (0).
```
