> Yes, but we can't really express string tensor with `FixedShapeTensorArray`. Perhaps we could with `VariableShapeTensorArray` where the last dimension is length of the string? :) What do you mean with "express"? The "fixed shape" vs "variable shape" in the type name is about the _number_ of values in the tensor elements, and not about whether those individual values are stored in a fixed width storage layout or not. (of course, for conversion to tensor libraries like numpy or pytorch, this matters, but not for Arrow itself) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
