Description

The example in the C++ docs uses a non-existing raw_data function https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/index.html

// Get the pointer to the actual data
const int64_t* data = int64_array->raw_data();

Trying to compile it, you get:

error: 'class arrow::NumericArray<arrow::Int64Type>' has no member named 'raw_data'
     const int64_t* data = int64_array->raw_data();

The function used should be raw_values
