> Ugh yeah, I don't know why `arrow-rs` made that choice. To me the "physical number of nulls" seems kinda useless. I care about the semantics, not the implementation details 😄 The reason is performance -- I agree it is quite confusing. THe rationale is that arrow-rs I think tries to let the user have maximal control, but that does make the API harder to reason about sometime. I tried to clarify this in the docs, but I am also still not happy with how easy it is to get confused: https://docs.rs/arrow/latest/arrow/array/trait.Array.html#tymethod.nulls -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
