   > In some cases, features might be lost by someone moving / refactoring the 
code as part of another change - this happened quite a few times before in 
arrow-rs / arrow-datafusion! Tests covering those code paths help avoiding 
issues like that. In ballista this might be only discovered once the version is 
updated (which may be only after a new version is released).
   
   I don't know the scenarios you are referring to. But during those 
refactoring the person might remove the test along with the code. So, in my 
opinion,  catching when `arrow-ballista` consumes the changes is the best way 
to catch such issues rather than adding tests.
