---------------------------------
Summary: C++: Provide iterator access to primitive elements inside
a Column/ChunkedArray
Key: ARROW-602
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-602
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++
Reporter: Uwe L. Korn
Given a ChunkedArray, an Arrow user must currently iterate over all its chunks
and then cast them to their types to extract the primitive memory regions to
access the values. A convenient way to access the underlying values would be to
offer a function that takes a ChunkedArray and returns a C++ iterator over all
elements.
While this may not be the most performant way to access the underlying data, it
should have sufficient performance and adds a convenience layer for new users.
