Neal Richardson created ARROW-7012:
--------------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Clarify ChunkedArray chunking strategy and policy
Key: ARROW-7012
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7012
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: C++
Reporter: Neal Richardson
See discussion on ARROW-6784 and [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/5686].
Among the questions:
* Do Arrow users control the chunking, or is it an internal implementation
detail they should not manage?
* If users control it, how do they control it? E.g. if I call Take and use a
ChunkedArray for the indices to take, does the chunking follow how the indices
are chunked? Or should we attempt to preserve the mapping of data to their
chunks in the input table/chunked array?
* If it's an implementation detail, what is the optimal chunk size? And when
is it worth reshaping (concatenating, slicing) input data to attain this
optimal size?
