Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-4083:
-------------------------------------
I think this could be addressed at the dataframe level, removing from any
milestone for now
> [C++] Allowing ChunkedArrays to contain a mix of DictionaryArray and dense
> Array (of the dictionary type)
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-4083
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4083
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
> Labels: dataframe
>
> In some applications we may receive a stream of some dictionary encoded data
> followed by some non-dictionary encoded data. For example this happens in
> Parquet files when the dictionary reaches a certain configurable size
> threshold.
> We should think about how we can model this in our in-memory data structures,
> and how it can flow through to relevant computational components (i.e.
> certain data flow observers -- like an Aggregation -- might need to be able
> to process either a dense or dictionary encoded version of a particular array
> in the same stream)
