Interface BufferManager

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable
public interface BufferManager extends AutoCloseable
Manages a list of ArrowBufs that can be reallocated as needed. Upon re-allocation the old buffer will be freed. Managing a list of these buffers prevents some parts of the system from needing to define a correct location to place the final call to free them.
