@lidavidm thanks a lot for the review! Do you have an opinion on some of the API questions raised at https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/14395#issuecomment-1293369447 ? (and Miles' answer just below) I am still feeling unsure about the `return_fixed_size_list` keyword and its default. Especially if we would support "slicing until the end" (i.e. without specifying a `stop`), it feels strange that the default would then check for the longest list and pad all others (to produce a fixed size list). Another default could be to always preserve the original type by default (so fixed size -> fixed size, variable size -> variable size), with still an option to choose explicitly. But then we need to make that keyword optional as well, since the default value would depend on the input type. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
