Note that I had very limited knowledge about Arrow and Rust when I initially proposed the MutableArrayData; specially the dictionary part, which was simply written to "work for dictionary arrays". Its primary goal was simply to allow us to easily construct an array out of "slices" of other arrays, which I was observing to be a recursive pattern in filter, concat, sort-merge and joins. `_MutableArrayData` is private and does not need to comply with the arrow spec up to "freeze". So, I think that we can use/ experiment with it as we see fit to extract performance :P -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
