* ARROW-6898 - [Java] Fix potential memory leak in ArrowWriter and several test classes
* ARROW-6874 - [Python] Memory leak in Table.to_pandas() when conversion to object dtype
* ARROW-5579 - [Java] shade flatbuffer dependency
* ARROW-5843 - [Java] Improve the readability and performance of BitVectorHelper#getNullCount
* ARROW-5881 - [Java] Provide functionalities to efficiently determine if a validity buffer has completely 1 bits/0 bits
* ARROW-5893 - [C++] Remove arrow::Column class from C++ library
* ARROW-5970 - [Java] Provide pointer to Arrow buffer
* ARROW-6070 - [Java] Avoid creating new schema before IPC sending
* ARROW-6279 - [Python] Add Table.slice method or allow slices in \_\_getitem\_\_
* ARROW-6313 - [Format] Tracking for ensuring flatbuffer serialized values are aligned in stream/files.
* ARROW-6557 - [Python] Always return pandas.Series from Array/ChunkedArray.to_pandas, propagate field names to Series from RecordBatch, Table
* ARROW-2015 - [Java] Use Java Time and Date APIs instead of JodaTime
* ARROW-1261 - [Java] Add container type for Map logical type
* ARROW-1207 - [C++] Implement Map logical type
