# Which issue does this PR close? <!-- We generally require a GitHub issue to be filed for all bug fixes and enhancements and this helps us generate change logs for our releases. You can link an issue to this PR using the GitHub syntax. --> - Closes #6701. # Rationale for this change see #6701. TLDR; users should not pay the performance cost of validating utf8 strings if they know their data is already valid. <!-- Why are you proposing this change? If this is already explained clearly in the issue then this section is not needed. Explaining clearly why changes are proposed helps reviewers understand your changes and offer better suggestions for fixes. --> # What changes are included in this PR? Adds a `skip_utf8_validation` option to `ArrowReaderOptions` that allows callers to bypass the per-read UTF-8 validity check on string columns. <!-- There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR. --> # Are these changes tested? n/a <!-- We typically require tests for all PRs in order to: 1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes 2. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are they covered by existing tests)? If this PR claims a performance improvement, please include evidence such as benchmark results. --> # Are there any user-facing changes? Yes. `ArrowReaderOptions::with_skip_utf8_validation` is a new public API. It is marked `unsafe fn` so callers must explicitly acknowledge the invariant — that all string columns contain valid UTF-8 — at the call site. <!-- If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be updated before approving the PR. If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please call them out. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
