carols10cents opened a new pull request #8820: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/8820
The purpose of this PR is refactoring `read_dictionary` to only need one kind of `Schema`, which lets us then remove the `find_dictionary_field` function and the `ipc_schema` field on `StreamReader` by adding a way to look up schema fields that use a particular dictionary by ID. I'm also resubmitting a change to the `dict_id`/`dict_is_ordered` methods on `Field`; I had submitted this to @nevi-me to become part of #8200 but it looks like it got lost in a rebase or something? I think it's more correct to only return values if the fields have a dictionary as their datatype. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
