   ### Describe the enhancement requested
   
   I'm writing a convertor method to convert a base64 encoded byte array into 
Arrow batches and returns it to the user.
   
   ```java
       public List<Table> readArrowBatches(String rows, BufferAllocator 
allocator) {
           final List<Table> batches = new ArrayList<>();
           final byte[] data = Base64.getDecoder().decode(rows);
           final ByteArrayInputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
           try (final ArrowStreamReader reader = new ArrowStreamReader(stream, 
allocator)) {
               while (reader.loadNextBatch()) {
                   batches.add(new Table(reader.getVectorSchemaRoot()));
               }
           } catch (IOException e) {
               throw new UncheckedIOException(e);
           }
           return batches;
       }
   ```
   
   Since `ArrowStreamReader` replace the batch referred by 
`getVectorSchemaRoot` in each iteration, I have to do a deepcopy of 
VectorSchemaRoot every time.
   
   Currently, I use Table's method as a workaround, but wonder if 
`VectorSchemaRoot` deserves a `copy` method, or I implement such a typically 
use case in a wrong way.
