Resolution: Duplicate
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11434
> [Rust][DataFusion] length kernel does not correctly calculate character length
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-11339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11339
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Rust - DataFusion
> Reporter: Mike Seddon
> Assignee: Mike Seddon
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current kernel works for simple characters as it appears to be assuming
> that 1 byte = 1 character. this is very fast but is not a safe assumption
> given Arrow strings are utf8.
> A simple example of failure is from the Postgres example where the current
> `length` implementation will calculate 5.
> `char_length('josé') → 4`
> The correct method seems to be via
> https://docs.rs/unicode-segmentation/1.2.1/unicode_segmentation/struct.Graphemes.html
> which I can implement in my work here:
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9243 and remove from kernel.
