>
> Follow up work to ARROW-554.
> Unifying multiple dictionary-encoded arrays is one use case. Another is
> rewriting a DictionaryArray to be based on another dictionary. For example,
> this would be used to implement Cast from one dictionary type to another.
> This will need to be able to insert nulls where there are values that are not
> found in the target dictionary
