kevingurney opened a new issue, #38361:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/38361
### Describe the enhancement requested
Currently,`arrow.array.ListArray.fromArrays` does not validate the supplied
`offsets` and `values` to ensure that they represent a valid list. This can
result in `ListArray`s that look like the following:
```matlab
>> offsets = arrow.array(int32([0, 2, 3, 7, 100]))
offsets =
[
0,
2,
3,
7,
100
]
>> values = arrow.array(["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G"])
values =
[
"A",
"B",
"C",
"D",
"E",
"F",
"G"
]
>> arrowArray = arrow.array.ListArray.fromArrays(offsets, values)
arrowArray =
<Invalid array: Length spanned by list offsets (100) larger than values
array (length 7)>
```
We should add support for validating `offsets` and `values` to
`arrow.array.ListArray.fromArrays` and potentially provide a name-value pair
like `ValidateList = true | false` to the `fromArrays` method to let client
code control whether or not they want to pay the cost of validation.
