It's been a while, but if I recall correctly, the idea was for compute kernels in arrow to follow a similar approach to C++ where we have a `Datum` (or whatever we call it), which could likely be an enum of the same datatype. Within that Datum, we'd have `Scalar`, `Array`, ... The C++ impl has a `ChunkedArray` which is effectively `Vec<Array>`, but we never went with that. It would have been desirable to move `Scalar` to arrow at the time, but that's fortunately been done in arrow2. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
