Wes McKinney created ARROW-8866: ----------------------------------- Summary: [C++] Split Type::UNION into Type::SPARSE_UNION and Type::DENSE_UNION Key: ARROW-8866 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8866 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++ Reporter: Wes McKinney Fix For: 1.0.0
Similar to the recent {{Type::INTERVAL}} split, having these two array types which have different memory layouts under the same {{Type::type}} value makes function dispatch somewhat more complicated. This issue is less critical from INTERVAL so this may not be urgent but seems like a good pre-10 change -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
