FWIW the current design is a compromise to avoid breaking the API. Unfortunately arrow-rs has never had such a context object, adding at this stage would be a tremendous undertaking, that would involve churning a huge portion of the public interface of this library. That's not to say it isn't possible, but it would take multiple highly motivated individuals to see it through. Whilst the approach implemented in https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/6590 is not without downsides, IMO it's a pragmatic compromise. Ultimately what is ideal matters less than what is practical. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
