> Should we guarantee that typeid is unsigned The arrow format specifies the following - https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#union-layout > A buffer of 8-bit signed integers. Each type in the union has a corresponding type id whose values are found in this buffer. A union with more than 127 possible types can be modeled as a union of unions. So they should be signed integers, but never negative :sweat_smile:. Most likely this was originally a workaround for Java -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
