BryanCutler opened a new pull request #10513: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/10513
Currently UnionVector and DenseUnionVector do not extend any base class, only implement the FieldVector interface. This change makes these vectors extend AbstractContainerVector, which is a subclass of BaseValueVector. This allows a the union vectors to be used in extension types as the underlying vector storage. The current naming of child fields in the union vector ignores the original name and generates a new name based on type (and typeid). This has been changed to respect the original field name if given, and only if the name is empty it will generate a new name as before. Some current test add child Fields with empty names, so this preserves the original behavior. Included tests to verify the added methods from AbstractContainerVector. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
