When specifying `null_encoding`, this method might not be a no-op. In fact, this very situation came up in pandas: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/60777/files#r1936339185 Whether it is supported in the future or not, I am wondering if there is a better work around than what we are currently considering: ```python data = data.cast(data.type.value_type) encoded = data.dictionary_encode(null_encoding=null_encoding) ``` Wasn't sure if I should open a new issue. Happy to if desired. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
