> I agree that start and end are preferable to be placed together. So I'm in favor of `fixed_size_list`. > > However if the use case (sorry I didn't read through the full context so this may not be useful) can take some advantages of features like out of order elements or view-like structures, it may also worth looking at [binary_view](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#variable-size-binary-view-layout) or [list_view](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#listview-layout). I think there is no point in the extract_regex_function (it's supposed to implement) using list_view as the length of each element is constant.(remember the problem is to return the position of the finding string). However, it can be beneficial to consider it for extract_regex. But there is a problem. As it is mentioned in #44336, there is no compute kernel for View type. Thus, the result cannot be used for other computations. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
