Specifically allow the below from [Arrow's spec](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#variable-size-binary-layout) > It should be noted that a null value may have a positive slot length. That is, a null value may occupy a non-empty memory space in the data buffer. When this is true, the content of the corresponding memory space is undefined. <!-- Why are you proposing this change?
