--------------------------------

             Summary: [Docs] Clarify that C data interface is not strictly for within a single process
                 Key: ARROW-17589
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17589
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 9.0.0
            Reporter: Ian Cook
            Assignee: Ian Cook
             Fix For: 10.0.0


The Arrow C data interface and C stream interface docs say that these interfaces are only for sharing data within a single process. This is not exactly correct. The fundamental requirement for using the C data interface and C stream interface is not that the components be necessarily running in the same process. It’s that they are able to pass around a pointer and access the same memory address space. Let's make some minor changes to the docs to clarify this.
