> Key: ARROW-6033
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6033
> Project: Apache Arrow

> Fix For: 6.0.0

> Some Arrow functions will fail if e.g. the CPU doesn't have the right
> instruction set extensions (e.g. POPCNT on x86 - see ARROW-5381). We may want
> to provide a global function that checks requirements and/or otherwise
> initializes Arrow internal structures (the single one I can think of is
> `InitializeUTF8()` in `util/utf8.h`).
