Module arrow2::buffer

This module contains core functionality to handle memory in this crate.

The core containers of this module are MutableBuffer and Buffer. MutableBuffer is like Vec, with the following main differences:

• it only supports types that implement super::types::NativeType
• it allocates memory along cache lines.
• it is not clonable. Buffer is the immutable counterpart of MutableBuffer.
