---------------------------------------
Summary: [C++][CSV] Add support for sentinel values.
Key: ARROW-8532
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8532
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++
Reporter: Ravil Bikbulatov
Some systems still use sentinel values to store nulls. It would be good if
read_csv would place sentinel values and user wouldn't need to convet null
bitmaps to sentinel values.
Adding this support doesn't contradict Arrow specification as null values are
undefined. Also it wouldn't add any overhead to read_csv. Since Arrow is
general purpose framework I think we can relieve users from pain of converting
bitmats to sentinel values.
