Hi all, Following discussions [1][2] and preliminary implementation work (by Pradeep Gollakota) [3] I would like to propose a vote to add language for JSON canonical extension type to CanonicalExtensions.rst as in PR [4] and written below. A draft C++ implementation PR can be seen here [3].
[1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/p3353oz6lk846pnoq6vk638tjqz2hm1j [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/7xph3476g9rhl9mtqvn804fqf5z8yoo1 [3] https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/13901 [4] https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/41257 <- proposed change The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. [ ] +1 Accept this proposal [ ] +0 [ ] -1 Do not accept this proposal because... JSON ==== * Extension name: `arrow.json`. * The storage type of this extension is ``StringArray`` or or ``LargeStringArray`` or ``StringViewArray``. Only UTF-8 encoded JSON is supported. * Extension type parameters: This type does not have any parameters. * Description of the serialization: Metadata is either an empty string or a JSON string with an empty object. In the future, additional fields may be added, but they are not required to interpret the array. Rok
