Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-585:
------------------------------------
Yeah, I think the next steps would be to create an equivalent Java
implementation, then add support for extension types to the integration tests
We'll need to find a champion to help with the Java development. I presume that
a similar scheme, aka creating an {{ExtensionVector}} class to be extended,
will be possible
> [C++] Define public API for user-defined data types
