sjperkins opened a new pull request #10452: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/10452
xref https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-638 Added COMPLEX_FLOAT and COMPLEX_DOUBLE types to the flatbuffers definition in feather.fbs as an initial stab. This is a draft and I've some questions before proceeding foreward: - Complex valued types are standard types so my impression would be that base types should exist for them in Arrow. - But this looks like it may be a breaking format change (V5 to V6). Is this undesirable? - Alternatively, what would be lost by implementing this as an [C++ Extension Type](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-638?focusedCommentId=16912456&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16912456 )? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
