tabac opened a new issue, #21671:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/21671

   ### Describe the bug
   
   The `array_element`, `array_any_value` UDFs use a `ListArray`'s offsets to 
deduce that a row is Null. If the difference between to consecutive offsets is 
`0` then the row should be Null.
   
   This goes against the [Arrow 
spec](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#variable-size-binary-layout)
 which allows positive slot lengths for Null rows.
   
   > It should be noted that a null value may have a positive slot length. That 
is, a null value may occupy a non-empty memory space in the data buffer. When 
this is true, the content of the corresponding memory space is undefined.
   
   ### To Reproduce
   
   _No response_
   
   ### Expected behavior
   
   The `ListArray`'s null buffer should be used instead.
   
   ### Additional context
   
   _No response_
