### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful details as possible. AppendValues and AppendStringValues of BinaryBuilder invoke `Reserve` internally, but don't invoke `ReserveData`, e.g. by something like this: ``` totalLen := 0 for _, vv := range v { totalLen += len(vv) } b.ReserveData(totalLen) ``` Is it on purpose that `ReserveData` is not invoked in these functions because the idea is that users should do this themselves before invoking AppendValues/AppendStringValues? https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/469430f50085b4b462fcc7db84a08cb554c698cd/go/arrow/array/binarybuilder.go#L159 https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/469430f50085b4b462fcc7db84a08cb554c698cd/go/arrow/array/binarybuilder.go#L180 Using `ReserveData` can significantly improve performance (in case of the benchmark test in [reserve_data_test.go.txt](https://github.com/apache/arrow/files/14852568/reserve_data_test.go.txt) by factor 2-3). ### Component(s) Go -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
