CurtHagenlocher opened a new issue, #187: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-dotnet/issues/187
### Describe the enhancement requested It's hard for the C# Arrow library to support large arrays. Commonly-used types like `Array`, `Span` and `Memory` use a 32-bit signed integer for the length, meaning that they can't have more than ~2 million elements in them. The `ArrowBuffer` structure that is the foundation of the core `ArrayData` class exposes these types directly. This may make it impossible to support large arrays in a strictly backwards-compatible fashion.
