Currently the Array methods consistently return nullability as determined by the null buffer, irrespective of the array's logical value, i.e. if a dictionary value is null, this won't be reflected in is_null. We could change this, but doing so would significantly regress performance, especially for RunArray. I agree the current situation is unfortunate, but I do feel strongly that we should be consistent about what these methods mean. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
