[jira] [Comment Edited] (ARROW-17657) [C++] C data interface: Add field for byte length of buffers in ArrowArray

The C data interface is a stable binary interface, we can't a field like this.

Does that mean we will never change ABI? I assumed semantic versioning might also apply to ABI.

Anyway it seems to be more reasonable to just add an API to compute the buffer size in Java side, so this can be closed then.
