Description

This method was never implemented, and currently is a no op. We should at least do the naive "copy" version of the method.

**Reporter**: [Steven Phillips](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-241) / @StevenMPhillips

**Note**: *This issue was originally created as [ARROW-241](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-241). Please see the [migration documentation](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/14542) for further details.*

Implement the requested naive copy behavior, then verify that the method transfers the appropriate values and preserves the expected vector state; no specific test file is named in the issue.
