> In this loop
> [https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/3d435e4f8d5fb7a54a4a9d285e1a42d60186d8dc#diff-47fe879cb9baad6c633c55f0a34a09c3R739]
> The branch of if dealing with null values does not increment variable 'i'.
> Therefore on chunks containing only NULLs once a thread enters the loop, it
> stays in that loop forever. I'm not entirely sure whether 'num_values'
> variable was meant to be the number of non-NULL values, yet the total number
> of values is passed here

>
> On my local machine adding `++i` to the NULL-handling branch seems to fix the
> problem. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the codebase enough to be
> certain it's a proper fix.
