vyasr opened a new issue, #40318: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/40318
### Describe the enhancement requested Currently creating an ArrowArray from a Scalar requires going through the Builder interface. While this is fine as a general solution, a common special case is the creation of an Array from a single Scalar (possibly copying that Scalar N times). Abstracting out the handling of different types could be helpful for this case. If there is interest in this feature, [there is code that I wrote for this task in cudf](https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/blob/branch-24.04/cpp/src/interop/from_arrow.cu#L511) that could easily be extracted into arrow C++ (we're likely to remove that functionality from libcudf). ### Component(s) C++ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
