asfimport opened a new issue, #408: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-java/issues/408
`JdbcToArrowUtils::updateVector(VarCharVector, String, boolean, int)` does not release the memory that it allocates for the `NullableVarCharHolder`. This can be verified by changing the first lines of `JdbcToArrowTest::testJdbcToArrowValues()` to the following: ```java RootAllocator allocator = new RootAllocator(Integer.MAX_VALUE); VectorSchemaRoot root = JdbcToArrow.sqlToArrow(conn, table.getQuery(), allocator, Calendar.getInstance()); testDataSets(root); root.close(); assertEquals(allocator.getAllocatedMemory(), 0); ``` The leak can be fixed by closing the buffer in `updateVector`. However, I would propose to not use the `NullableVarCharHolder` in the first place because it creates an unnecessary copy of the string. Instead, I would use `BaseVariableWidthVector::setSafe(int index, byte[] value)` and `BaseVariableWidthVector::setNull(int index)` directly. In addition, I would propose to check for leaks in JdbcToArrowTest. I am willing to create a patch, so please let me know what approach is preferred. **Reporter**: [Johannes Luong](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5536) / @jmaschad <sub>**Note**: *This issue was originally created as [ARROW-5536](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5536).
