Eduardo Ponce closed ARROW-15211.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Changing the public API of ChunkedArray could break user code and that is not
desirable.
> Deprecate ChunkedArray public constructors
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-15211
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15211
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Eduardo Ponce
> Priority: Minor
>
> The convention for the higher-level Arrow data structures (Table,
> RecordBatch) is to provide a public {{Make()}} method for creating objects
> with validation checks. The constructors are set to {{protected}} and do not
> perform validation checks, so they should be only invoked with valid inputs.
> {{ChunkedArray}} provides both public constructors and {{Make()}}. We should
> deprecate the public constructors and be consistent with the other data
> structures.
> For more details on the Arrow data structures, [see this
> discussion|https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12036#issuecomment-1002242875].
> Note: The codebase has many statements of the form
> {{std::make_shared<ChunkedArray>(...)}} which should be changed to
> {{ChunkedArray::Make(...)}}.
