------------------------------------
Summary: [JS] Better BigInt compatibility check
Key: ARROW-11706
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11706
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Diana Clarke
See: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9110
Check for whether BigInt64ArrayAvailable and BigUint64ArrayAvailable are
available, rather than just BigIntAvailable. Recent versions of
JavaScriptCore/WebKit in Safari support BigInt but do not support
BigInt64Array, and so anything that relies on BigInt64Array will fail despite
BigIntAvailable being true.
The manifestation of this issue can be seen when trying to run the following
within Safari on a table that contains bigints:
{code:java}
RecordBatchJSONWriter.writeAll(table).toString(true)
message: "BigUint64Array is not available in this environment"
BigUint64ArrayUnavailableError
