I think we need an entire validity mask (as only some of the group keys might be null). Also, we would need to keep validity in the hash map's *values* to produce the correct output , but we could get that "for free" switching to `ScalarValue` ala https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/788 > > Yes, that's right. I missed the part in the alternatives, but that should work I think👍 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
