Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-550:
------------------------------------
[~pcmoritz] we discussed this issue on the Arrow sync call yesterday. I think
we should be able to propose a design for C++ users that will meet your needs
(including accommodating arrays larger than 2G in the Arrow builder classes) --
I will draw up a patch when I can and we can discuss.
> [Format] Add a TensorMessage type
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-550
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-550
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Format
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
>
> Since all data message types at the moment are 1-dimensional, a "tensor"
> message will contain an array of dimensions and an order flag (C order vs.
> Fortran order) to enable data to be interpreted as multiple dimensions. This
> is similar to multidimensional arrays in APL or Fortran or MATLAB, ndarrays
> in NumPy, etc.
