davisusanibar opened a new issue, #37246: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/37246
### Describe the enhancement requested Current [VectorAppender](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/java/vector/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/vector/util/VectorAppender.java) class is package-private. This class provides utility methods for appending vector values fields that can be exposed publicly. Java code: ```java package org.apache.arrow.vector.util; import org.apache.arrow.memory.BufferAllocator; import org.apache.arrow.memory.RootAllocator; import org.apache.arrow.vector.IntVector; import org.apache.arrow.vector.ValueVector; public class FieldVectorAppender { public static void main(String[] args) { try ( BufferAllocator allocator = new RootAllocator(); IntVector initialValues = new IntVector("initialValues", allocator); IntVector toAppend = new IntVector("toAppend", allocator); ) { initialValues.allocateNew(2); initialValues.set(0, 1); initialValues.set(1, 2); initialValues.setValueCount(2); System.out.println("Initial IntVector: " + initialValues); toAppend.allocateNew(4); toAppend.set(1, 4); toAppend.set(3, 6); toAppend.setValueCount(4); System.out.println("IntVector to Append: " + toAppend); VectorAppender appenderUtil = new VectorAppender(initialValues); ValueVector resultOfVectorsAppended = toAppend.accept(appenderUtil, null); System.out.println("IntVector Result: " + resultOfVectorsAppended); } } } ``` Result: ```shell Initial IntVector: [1, 2] IntVector to Append: [null, 4, null, 6] IntVector Result: [1, 2, null, 4, null, 6] ``` ### Component(s) Java -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
