Antoine Pitrou updated ARROW-326:
---------------------------------
Component/s: Java
> [Java] ComplexWriter should initialize nested writers when container vector
> is already populated
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-326
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-326
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Java
> Reporter: Steven Phillips
> Assignee: Steven Phillips
> Priority: Major
>
> It's possible and sometimes useful to use reuse a nested vector that was
> populated in a previous ComplexWriter. The new ComplexWriter should be aware
> of the fields that are present in the vector.
> As it is right now, if a particular column were determined to be a specific
> type (or a union type), but the new writer finds a new type, the original
> type may be thrown out. What should happen is that the type should be
> promoted to union (or have a new subtype added to the union field).
