    Description

      I encountered this

      -- Arrow Fatal Error --
      Invalid: Can't view array of type string as binary: not enough buffers for view type
      In ../src/arrow/array.cc, line 1049, code: CheckInputAvailable()
      In ../src/arrow/array.cc, line 1100, code: impl.MakeDataView(out_field, &out_data)
      

      when trying to add a BinaryWithRepeats function to RandomArrayGenerator

        std::shared_ptr<Array> out;
        auto strings = StringWithRepeats(size, unique, min_length, max_length,
                                         null_probability);
        ABORT_NOT_OK(strings->View(binary(), &out));
        return out;
      

      It looks like utf8 <-> binary view simply aren't tested in array-view-test
