Antoine Pitrou created ARROW-2442: ------------------------------------- Summary: [C++] Disambiguate Builder::Append overloads Key: ARROW-2442 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2442 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++ Affects Versions: 0.9.0 Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
See discussion in [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1852#discussion_r179919627] There are various {{Append()}} overloads in Builder and subclasses, some of which append one value, some of which append multiple values at once. The API might be clearer and less error-prone if multiple-append variants were named differently, for example {{AppendValues()}}. Especially with the pointer-taking variants, it's probably easy to call the wrong overload by mistake. The existing methods would have to go through a deprecation cycle. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
