Array builders are meant for sequential appending, they normally don't support mutating values. At a lower level you can use `TypedBufferBuilder` or you can even handle buffer allocation yourself. I guess we could. I guess another reason is that since `NumericalBuilder` supports updating value through `operator []`, it would be complementary to support updating null as well. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
