> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-8917
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8917
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++

>
> A metafunction is a function that provides the {{Execute}} API but does not
> contain any kernels. Such functions can also handle non-Array/Scalar inputs
> like RecordBatch or Table.
> This will enable bindings to invoke such functions (like take, filter) like
> {code}
> call_function('take', [table, indices])
> {code}
