Got it. I think I am just going to use arraydata::make for this for now.
Thanks a bundle!

It is not frowned upon to use the ArrayData::Make classes, you just have to
ensure the order of buffers matches what the specialized Array class
expects (also matching the type you're passing to ArrayData). I'd say it is
the "preferred" way if your data is already in the required layout, and the

hi Felipe -- note you don't have to use the builder classes when you
have the exact memory layout already, you can wrap you rmemory in
arrow::Buffer and construct the arrays directly.
I think it would be useful to add APIs for appending to builders with
a bitmap. We don't have them now, though. Th
Is there a way to use a builder to be able to provide a bit per value LSB
as is described in the documentation? I have this already and it seems
silly to convert it to something else so that arrow can then make it the
same format as what I had to begin with. I know there is the ArrayData
class that
Actually, this specific method seems to use a byte per value as you
questioned. I think it's worth adding documentation and an explicit warning
if it confused me. I'll let bkietz chime in to comment on the usage.

Hello Felipe,
it's a bit per value as per memory layout documentation.

In the builder base class I see this api
