Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-2583:
---------------------------------------
Since this would probably break the API, it would be nice to have this sooner
than later (i.e. in 0.10.0), but this shouldn't block the release either.
> [Rust] Buffer should be typeless
> --------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-2583
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2583
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Rust
> Reporter: Andy Grove
> Assignee: Chao Sun
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.11.0
>
>
> See comments in [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1971] for background on
> this but the summary is that Buffer should just deal with untyped memory e.g.
> `* const u8` and all type-handling should be moved to the Array layer e.g.
> `BufferArray<T>`.
> This would be more consistent with the other implementations.
