Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-9432: ------------------------------------- It might be acceptable to have a slower, but smaller (in code size) implementation. For example, simply transposing the negative indices to be positive and then invoking the non-negative-Take implementation > [C++/Python] Add option to Take kernel to interpret negative indices as > indexing from the right > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-9432 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9432 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: C++, Python > Reporter: Uwe Korn > Priority: Major > Fix For: 5.0.0 > > > Currently negative integers are explicitly forbidding in the {{Take}} kernel. > It would be nice to have the option to treat negative integers as "indices > from the right" instead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
