Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-10026:
--------------------------------------
That seems like a good start. I'd like to look at writing a patch to use a
simpler data structure that doesn't involve a variant nor heap-allocating
{{ArrayData}} objects. See for example the {{PrimitiveArg}} data structure that
is being used in the selection kernels
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/d0f3b5f3c74f67c7ca941c98bd60148e9a9e94f0/cpp/src/arrow/compute/kernels/util_internal.h#L30
It seems like some evolved version of that which satisfies the needs of kernels
would make sense.

> It seems that invoking some kernels on smallish batches has quite an overhead:
> {code}
> ArrayArrayKernel<Add, Int32Type>/32768/100 2860 ns
> 2859 ns 245195 bytes_per_second=10.6727G/s
> items_per_second=2.86494G/s null_percent=1 size=32.768k
> ArrayArrayKernel<Add, Int32Type>/32768/0 2752 ns
> 2751 ns 249316 bytes_per_second=11.093G/s items_per_second=2.97775G/s
> null_percent=0 size=32.768k
> ArrayArrayKernel<Add, Int32Type>/524288/100 18633 ns

> items_per_second=7.03561G/s null_percent=1 size=524.288k
> ArrayArrayKernel<Add, Int32Type>/524288/0 18260 ns
> 18257 ns 38245 bytes_per_second=26.7451G/s
> items_per_second=7.17933G/s null_percent=0 size=524.288k
> {code}
> We should investigate and try to lighten the overhead.
