/**
 * Wrapper object for an individual value in Arrow.
 *
 * ValueHolders are designed to be mutable wrapper objects for defining clean
 * APIs that access data in Arrow. For performance, object creation is avoided
 * at all costs throughout execution. For this reason, ValueHolders are
 * disallowed from implementing any methods, this allows for them to be
 * replaced by their java primitive inner members during optimization of
 * run-time generated code.
