Review Comment:
   @simonvandel Thanks for reviewing
   > I wonder if this allocation can be removed by using the Write impl? See 
https://arrow.apache.org/rust/arrow/array/type.GenericStringBuilder.html#example-incrementally-writing-strings-with-stdfmtwrite
   > Perhaps by iterating through the rev iterator, writing chars one at a time.
   
   I tested this solution and the performance is not as good as this PR.
   
   > If the above is slower, it could also be interesting to see if reusing the 
String allocation with a clear() on every loop is faster
   
   Indeed, this one is faster. I will update the code and provide benchmarks 
shortly. TYSM ❤️
