Wes McKinney commented on PARQUET-517:
--------------------------------------

I renamed the issue. Using {{arrow::MemoryPool}} for allocations will ensure alignment

> We are using {{std::vector}} in many places for memory allocation; if we want to use SSE on this memory we may run into some problems.
> Couple things we should do
> * Add an STL allocator for {{std::vector}} that ensure 16-byte aligned memory
> * Check user-provided memory for alignment before utilizing an SSE-accelerated routine (e.g. SSE hash functions for dictionary encoding) and decide whether to copy and use SSE or no-copy and use no-SSE code.
