jorgecarleitao opened a new pull request #8260: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/8260
This PR adds length to `LargeStringArray` and fixes undefined behavior. The undefined behavior was introduced in #7878. Specifically, we were (unsafely) interpreting a `i32` buffer as `u32`. This PR also changes the length kernel to return signed integers instead of unsigned ones. The reason for this logical change is that our offsets are stored as `i`, not `u`, and thus the kernel follows this convention (of using signed numbers to measure lengths). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
