Lukasdoe opened a new issue, #46551: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/46551
### Describe the enhancement requested I just stumbled upon an optimization barrier in our code over at lingo-db where we do not have the field name string allocated as an `std::string`, however, the arrow type API requires a string ref. This is despite the fact that internally, a `std::string_view` would be fully sufficient. I'm not too familiar with the arrow c++ codebase, meaning this needs someone who could think about the possible repercussions of such a change. ### Component(s) C++ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
