Panchen Xue updated ARROW-1623:
-------------------------------
    Comment: was deleted

(was: My understanding is: 

Status Buffer::FromString(const std::string& data, MemoryPool* pool,
                                           std::shared_ptr<Buffer>* out) const {
  auto new_buffer = std::make_shared<PoolBuffer>(pool);
  auto size = static_cast<int64_t>(data.size());
  auto str = reinterpret_cast<const uint8_t*>(data.c_str());

  RETURN_NOT_OK(new_buffer->Resize(size));
  std::memcpy(new_buffer->mutable_data(), str, size);

  *out = new_buffer;
  return Status::OK();
}

If this is correct, shall we make this a static method?)
