Krisztian Szucs created ARROW-2475:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: [SPEC] Confusing array length description
                 Key: ARROW-2475
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2475
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Krisztian Szucs


"To encourage developers to compose smaller arrays (each of which contains contiguous memory in its leaf nodes) to create larger array structures possibly exceeding 2^31 - 1 elements, as opposed to allocating very large contiguous memory blocks."

I think it could use a little more verbose explanation: `to compose smaller arrays to create larger array structures`
