--------------------------------------------------------------
OK, this is a pretty good sized project. You can start with supporting any
signed integer indices to start. I suggest using the functor implementation
approach used with cast since a particular take kernel will depend on 2 types
(the value type and index type).
You're also welcome to create sub-JIRAs if you'd like to handle primitive
arrays, string/binary arrays, and nested arrays in separate patches to keep the
size of the patches (and number of test cases to write) smaller
Some other notes off the top of my head:
* In some cases, indices may be negative (e.g. {{arr.take([-4, -3, -2, -1,
0])}} selects the last 5 elements of a NumPy arrays in reverse order), but
negative indexing could be handled in follow up work
* Out of bounds indices could either yield null in the output array or cause
an error, eventually we want to support both
* If the indices have a null, so should the output

> dense array. This is equivalent to {{ndarray.take}} in NumPy
