Francois Saint-Jacques commented on ARROW-4661:
-----------------------------------------------

Feel free to extend `RandomArrayGenerator` in testing/random.h, I'd love to see 
the value distribution given as an option struct in the construct instead of 
having min/max arguments.

> [C++] Consolidate random string generators for use in benchmarks and unittests

> For testing/benchmarking dictionary encoding its useful to control the number 
> of repeated values and it would also be good to optionally include null 
> values.  The ability to provide a custom alphabet would be handy for 
> generating strings with unicode characters.
