Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-381:
------------------------------------
[~xhochy] I added this to the 0.2 release. This is an overdue API cleanup
> [C++] Simplify primitive array type builders to use a default type singleton
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-381
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
>
> Currently the builder classes all expect to be passed a
> {{shared_ptr<DataType>}} -- for the primitive types (boolean, numbers,
> strings, etc.) it would be simpler to default to a common value rather than
> requiring that you obtain an instance yourself from someplace (e.g.
> {{arrow::uint8()}} as in the WIP patch for ARROW-373)
