-------------------------------------------
The following spreadsheet provides a table of functions in Substrait and their
equivalent in Arrow along with the required options for both of them.

> [C++] Add support for registering tricky functions with the Substrait

> Key: ARROW-15582
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15582
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Weston Pace
> Assignee: Sanjiban Sengupta
> Priority: Major
> Labels: substrait
>
> Sometimes one Substrait function will map to multiple Arrow functions. For
> example, the Substrait {{add}} function might be referring to Arrow's {{add}}
> or {{add_checked}}. We need to figure out how to register this correctly
> (e.g. one possible approach would be a {{substrait_add}} meta function).
> Other times a substrait function will encode something Arrow considers an
> "option" as a function argument. For example, the is_in Arrow function is
> unary with an option for the lookup set. The substrait function is binary
> but the second argument must be constant and be the lookup set. Neither of
> which is to be confused with a truly binary is_in function which takes in a
> different set at every row.
> It's possible there is no work to do here other than adding a bunch of
> substrait_ meta functions in Arrow. In that case all the work will be done
> in other JIRAs. Or, it is possible that there is some kind of extension we
> can make to the function registry that bypasses the need for the meta
> functions. I'm leaving this JIRA open so future contributors can consider
> this second option.
