[jira] [Created] (ARROW-8563) Minor change to make newBuilder public

Amol Umbarkar created ARROW-8563:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Minor change to make newBuilder public
                 Key: ARROW-8563
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8563
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Go
            Reporter: Amol Umbarkar


This minor change makes newBuilder() public to reduce verbosity for downstream.

To give you example, I am working on a parquet read / write into Arrow Record batch where the parquet data types are mapped to Arrow data types.
My Repo: [https://github.com/mindhash/arrow-parquet-go]

In such cases, it will be nice to have a builder API (newBuilder) be generic to accept a data type and return a respective array. 

I am looking at a similar situation for JSON reader. I think this change will make the builder API much easier for upstream as well as internal packages.
