///
/// The `ListViewArray` encoding differs from [`ListArray`] in that it stores a child `sizes` array
/// in addition to a child `offsets` array (which is the _only_ child in [`ListArray`]).
///
/// In the past, we used [`ListArray`] as the canonical encoding for [`DType::List`], but we have
/// since migrated to `ListViewArray` for a few reasons:
///
/// - Enables better SIMD vectorization (no sequential dependency when reading `offsets`)
/// - Allows out-of-order offsets for better compression (we can shuffle the buffers)
/// - Supports different integer types for offsets vs sizes
///
/// It is worth mentioning that this encoding mirrors Apache Arrow's `ListView` array type, but does
/// not exactly mirror the similar type found in DuckDB and Velox, which stores the pair of offset
/// and size in a row-major fashion rather than column-major. More specifically, the row-major
/// layout has a single child array with alternating offset and size next to each other.
///
/// We choose the column-major layout as it allows better compressability, as well as using
/// different (logical) integer widths for our `offsets` and `sizes` buffers (note that the
/// compressor will likely compress to a different bit-packed width, but this is speaking strictly
/// about flexibility in the logcial type).
