   > Hi, I'm working on [raphtory](https://www.raphtory.com/#) trying to get a 
query engine off the ground with datafusion. One of the key ingredients would 
be REE array support, because hopping around graphs can be expressed 
efficiently with REE.
   
   
   That sounds like an awesome project 🙏 
   
   > Can I start looking into adding support for filtering or is there ongoing 
work that's required first?
   
   That would be great. 
   
   Some key features for arrays are (I am not sure offhand what REE has 
already, you would have to to some research)
   1. Cast support (to convert back/forth to other types
   2. Filter support (as you mentioned)
   3. IPC support (for arrow flight, for example)
   
   Something else that might be worth looking at is the ability to read REE 
arrays directly from parquet (and avoid decoding) if you are reading for arrow
   
   You might take a look at the list of items we made for `StringView` to get 
some inspiration: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/5374
