You can link an issue to this PR using the GitHub syntax.

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? If this is already explained clearly in the issue then this section is not needed. Explaining clearly why changes are proposed helps reviewers understand your changes and offer better suggestions for fixes. --> ## Are these changes tested? Unit tests included. <!-- We typically require tests for all PRs in order to: 1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes 2. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are they covered by existing tests)? --> (cherry picked from commit 4c7bb08)
