Summary: [C++] Add ExtensionArray::ExtensionValidate for custom validation? Key: ARROW-6507 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6507 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++ Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche >From discussing ARROW-6506, [~bkietz] said: an extension type might place more >constraints on an array than those implicit in its storage type, and users >will probably expect to be able to plug those into {{Validate}}. So we could have a {{ExtensionArray::ExtensionValidate}} that the visitor for {{ExtensionArray}} can call, similarly like there is also an {{ExtensionType::ExtensionEquals}} that the visitor calls when extension types are checked for equality. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.2#803003)
