**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** - part of https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/6736 We introduced the basic `variant_get` kernel in and now we need to expand its feature set - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/8021 The `VariantArray::value` method is supposed to return a Variant::Value at the relevant index. This currently works fine for Unshredded variants but for most shredded variants and will panic in debug buillds, and return a `Variant::Null` in release builds @Samyak2 commented here: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/8021#discussion_r2255052328 > That's unfortunate. Maybe a separate issue for that? **Describe the solution you'd like** I would like `VariantArray::value` to work for more value types Specifically this code here: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/c561acba798d34f7e642eca44b298c2a3b63ff98/parquet-variant-compute/src/variant_array.rs#L341-L340 **Describe alternatives you've considered** Ideally we would find a way to reuse the macros being developed for `cast_to_variant` kernel as suggested by @Samyak2 above. **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
