alamb opened a new issue, #7941: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/7941
I just realized something -- when dealing with shredded variants, this `value` method will do a lot of work to unshred and encode the whole thing (see e.g. https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/7915#discussion_r2205755479). And that work is not memoized anywhere unless the caller is able to do so. For efficiency reasons we should strongly consider some kind of direct pathing support in `VariantArray` itself. Otherwise, it would be far too easy for a caller to accidentally do quadratic work when repeatedly calling value+get_path pairs for different paths. _Originally posted by @scovich in https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/7919#discussion_r2207925813_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
