[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-15065) [Python][R] Expose ReferencedBufferSize to python/R

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15065?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17459006#comment-17459006 ] 

Weston Pace commented on ARROW-15065:
-------------------------------------

Per ARROW-15053 it seems that the preferred behavior might actually be to replace "nbytes" with the ReferencedBufferSize value and make a new method for the existing value.

[~jorisvandenbossche] Does this seem correct?  This would be a backwards-incompatible change.

> This could be a method on arrays, chunked arrays, record batches, and tables.  This method takes array offsets into account.
> We should probably add this alongside the existing nbytes field with clear commenting about the difference between the two of them.  Both can be useful depending on the need.
