> Key: ARROW-2296

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++, Format
> Reporter: Lawrence Chan
> Priority: Minor

> Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I don't see something on the API surface to get the number of rows in a arrow file without reading all the record batches. This is useful when we want to read into contiguous buffers, because it allows us to allocate the right sizes up front.
> I'd like to propose that we add `num_rows` as a field in the file footer so it's easy to query without reading the whole file.
> Meanwhile, before we get that added to the official format fbs, it would be nice to haveĀ a method that iterates over the record batch headers and sums up the lengths without reading the actual record batch body.
