Wes McKinney created ARROW-8891: ----------------------------------- Summary: [C++] Split non-cast compute kernels into a separate shared library Key: ARROW-8891 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8891 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++ Reporter: Wes McKinney
Since we are going to implement a lot more precompiled kernels, I am not sure it makes sense to require all of them to be compiled unconditionally just to get access to {{compute::Cast}}, which is needed in many different contexts. After ARROW-8792 is merged, I would suggest creating a plugin hook for adding a bundle of kernels from a shared library outside of libarrow.so, and then moving all the object code outside of Cast to something like libarrow_compute.so. Then we can change the CMake flags to compile Cast kernels always (?) and then opt in to building the additional kernels package separately -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
