The resulting ArrowSchema does not own the memory.

Parameters:

memoryAddress - Memory address to wrap

Returns:

A new ArrowSchema instance

allocateNew

public static ArrowSchema allocateNew(BufferAllocator allocator)

Create ArrowSchema by allocating memory.

The resulting ArrowSchema owns the memory.

Parameters:

allocator - Allocator for memory allocations

Returns:

A new ArrowSchema instance

markReleased

public void markReleased()

Mark the schema as released.

memoryAddress
