> Does pyarrow.array ever return a ChunkedArray? ```python import pyarrow as pa type(pa.array(["a" * 2 ** 20 for _ in range(2**10)])) #> pyarrow.lib.StringArray type(pa.array(["a" * 2 ** 20 for _ in range(2**11)])) #> pyarrow.lib.ChunkedArray ``` This is also true of the [`__arrow_array__` protocol](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/extending_types.html#controlling-conversion-to-pyarrow-array-with-the-arrow-array-protocol). > I'm not sure which overload a type checker would pick if the input object had both dunder methods. Would the typing hints be significantly different for a `ChunkedPointArray` vs a `PointArray`? > So your argument is that Array should never have __arrow_c_stream__, but that ChunkedArray should have both __arrow_c_array__ and __arrow_c_stream__? Maybe *could* is more like it. pyarrow has an `Array` class for a specifically contiguous array...nanoarrow doesn't at the moment (at least in a user-facing nicely typed sort of way). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
