-----------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Support for a `full` compute function
Key: ARROW-12813
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12813
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++
Reporter: Weston Pace
Given a scalar value and a length return an array where all values are equal to
the scalar value.
The name "full" is derived from
[https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.full.html] but if
anyone has a more clever name please recommend it.
There are a number of utility functions in C++ that do this already. However,
exposing this as a compute function would allow R/Python to easily generate
arrays.
