> I think zeroing is not required for null values based on the arrow specification. But I guess not doing it has some foot guns and UB issues that we want to avoid. Curious if there is a take on that from arrow-rs. 🤔 Allocating anything in rust is going to zero out the bytes anyways. Unless there is a compelling performance benchmark that shows avoiding the (potentially) extra zeroing makes a non trivial difference I think we should opt for safe -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
