Wes McKinney created ARROW-338:
----------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Refactor IPC vector "loading" and "unloading" to be
based on cleaner visitor pattern
Key: ARROW-338
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-338
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++
Reporter: Wes McKinney
The logic for obtaining buffers and metaata from each array is currently
somewhat self-contained in {{arrow/ipc/adapter.cc}} -- this is somewhat
inflexible. See the interface used in the Java implementation:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/java/vector/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/vector/FieldVector.java#L52
This may be better implemented using virtual functions and the visitor pattern,
which may yield better user-extensibility in the future
