#' @title RecordBatch class
#' @description A record batch is a collection of equal-length arrays matching
#' a particular [Schema]. It is a table-like data structure that is semantically
#' a sequence of [fields][Field], each a contiguous Arrow [Array].
#' @usage NULL
#' @format NULL
#' @docType class
#'
#' @section S3 Methods and Usage:
#' Record batches are data-frame-like, and many methods you expect to work on
#' a `data.frame` are implemented for `RecordBatch`. This includes `[`, `[[`,
#' `$`, `names`, `dim`, `nrow`, `ncol`, `head`, and `tail`. You can also pull
#' the data from an Arrow record batch into R with `as.data.frame()`. See the
#' examples.
#'
#' A caveat about the `$` method: because `RecordBatch` is an `R6` object,
#' `$` is also used to access the object's methods (see below). Methods take
#' precedence over the table's columns. So, `batch$Slice` would return the
#' "Slice" method function even if there were a column in the table called
#' "Slice".
#'
#' @section R6 Methods:
#' In addition to the more R-friendly S3 methods, a `RecordBatch` object has
#' the following R6 methods that map onto the underlying C++ methods:
#'
#' - `$Equals(other)`: Returns `TRUE` if the `other` record batch is equal
#' - `$column(i)`: Extract an `Array` by integer position from the batch
#' - `$column_name(i)`: Get a column's name by integer position
#' - `$names()`: Get all column names (called by `names(batch)`)
#' - `$RenameColumns(value)`: Set all column names (called by `names(batch) <- value`)
#' - `$GetColumnByName(name)`: Extract an `Array` by string name
#' - `$RemoveColumn(i)`: Drops a column from the batch by integer position
#' - `$SelectColumns(indices)`: Return a new record batch with a selection of columns, expressed as 0-based integers.
#' - `$Slice(offset, length = NULL)`: Create a zero-copy view starting at the
#'    indicated integer offset and going for the given length, or to the end
#'    of the table if `NULL`, the default.
#' - `$Take(i)`: return an `RecordBatch` with rows at positions given by
#'    integers (R vector or Array Array) `i`.
#' - `$Filter(i, keep_na = TRUE)`: return an `RecordBatch` with rows at positions where logical
#'    vector (or Arrow boolean Array) `i` is `TRUE`.
#' - `$SortIndices(names, descending = FALSE)`: return an `Array` of integer row
#'    positions that can be used to rearrange the `RecordBatch` in ascending or
#'    descending order by the first named column, breaking ties with further named
#'    columns. `descending` can be a logical vector of length one or of the same
#'    length as `names`.
#' - `$serialize()`: Returns a raw vector suitable for interprocess communication
#' - `$cast(target_schema, safe = TRUE, options = cast_options(safe))`: Alter
#'    the schema of the record batch.
#'
#' There are also some active bindings
#' - `$num_columns`
#' - `$num_rows`
#' - `$schema`
#' - `$metadata`: Returns the key-value metadata of the `Schema` as a named list.
#'    Modify or replace by assigning in (`batch$metadata <- new_metadata`).
#'    All list elements are coerced to string. See `schema()` for more information.
#' - `$columns`: Returns a list of `Array`s
