[jira] [Created] (ARROW-11777) [Rust][Arrow/Datafusion] impl AsRef for StringBuilder/BinaryBuilder

Max Meldrum created ARROW-11777:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: [Rust][Arrow/Datafusion] impl AsRef for StringBuilder/BinaryBuilder
                 Key: ARROW-11777
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11777
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Rust
            Reporter: Max Meldrum


The current implementation of Arrow forces the users to pass a reference to the append_value methods of StringBuilder/BinaryBuilder. Whereas it is passed by value for other types of builders.  This patch suggests adding impl AsRef<[u8]> rather than the current &[u8] parameter. 

Some background for this issue: I have a Rust derive macro which converts the specified struct to Arrow data. This macro assumes everything is passed by value to Arrow, hence the dilemma.
