@jorgecarleitao @alamb I could use some advice on the best way to make this new code support all array types. In the past, I have gone with macros because I know how to do that, but perhaps I should be trying to use generics here? There may also be some patterns in here that we want to extract and implement as kernels in the arrow crate. In particular, I would like an `if` primitive so that I can do something like: ```rust let new_array = boolean_array.if_then_else(array1, array2); ``` If I had this it would simply this code quite a lot. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
