@alamb this took me _**much**_ longer than it should have, and im still not even sure if its idiomatic rust / arrow but i _**think**_ i might be close to getting the `eq_dict_scalar` kernel. this process did definitely help a lot with learning about rust traits / macros and how arrow uses them. one thing i noticed is that it doesnt seem there is way to create a `DictionaryArray` from a vec of scalars like you can with a vec of str slices. Is that expected? I also dont see a builder method i can use to construct the `DictionaryArray`. I guess the main use case for `DictionaryArray` is with strings and not scalars? Either way, would you be able to see if this update is going in the right direction? If so, then I can extend to utf8 kernels etc. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
