I don't think this is possible because the `AbstractFieldWriter` is extended by all writer interfaces. `AbstractFieldWriter` extends `FieldWriter`, which extends `ScalarWriter`, which extends `VarCharWriter`. This makes it such that the helper new method must be implemented by all concrete writer implementations. We could make `VarCharWriterImpl` have this method, but it looks like the current code is set to program against the `VarCharWriter` interface, so I am not sure how it would end up working for one special case. Please let me know if I am missing something. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
