`ScalarValue` should be a container for a single nullable logical type and should not be concerned by various physical encodings used in arrays. It doesn't involve arrays even as part of internal representation (like arrow `Scalar` does). Remove `Dictionary` option from the `ScalarValue`. Note that `ScalarValue` doesn't have mapping for RLE arrays, while there are very similar type to dictionaries. Having `ScalarValue` follow complexity of various physical representations poses a burden on UDF implementers. They need to handle all equivalent scalar values. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
