Francois Saint-Jacques commented on ARROW-4671:
-----------------------------------------------
The issue with Dictionary is that the DictionaryBuilder not only emits an
array, but also a modified type. This will break const-ness of MakeBuilder.
[~mrkn] what is your use case here
# do you want to the builder to use an existing dictionary type (this is
currently unsupported)?
# or are you only interested in providing the dictionary value type, e.g.
string in your case6
2. can be fixed quickly by adding a new `MakeDictionaryBuilder function, 1.
requires a refactor of the DictionaryBuilder class.
> [C++] MakBuilder must care Type::DICTIONARY

> Now, we cannot create a builder for DictionaryArray by using MakeBuilder.
> When we pass DictionaryType to MakeBuilder, it says like below:

> dictionary<values=string, indices=int8, ordered=1>
