@zeroshade added one of my use cases for this. Note that in this simplistic example, I could have also built the indices entirely separately without a dictionary builder and just call new dictionary array with the indices and dictionary, however, when you have deeply nested lists and structs then you don't have this option as you can't control the list and struct offsets, so you rely on the builders that the record builder exposes to you, which in this case is the binary dictionary builder. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
