> Personally I think `has_validity_buffer` would better changed to `has_null`, the name would be better here. The general theme for the `has_validity_buffer` across the kernel and utilities is about presence of the buffer that will be written to. We can actually avoid computing the null count if we are OK with sometimes producing `11111...` bitmaps which might be an efficiency gain in the future. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
