Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-5508: ------------------------------------- I added a prototype for this here, see the comment on the Next method https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/util/iterator.h I notice that I missed the virtual destructor. If this is the preferred Iterator interface, then I would suggest refactoring one or two of our ad hoc iterator classes in the codebase to use {{arrow::Iterator<T>}} as a path to resolving this issue. Thoughts? > [C++] Create reusable Iterator<T> interface > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-5508 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5508 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ > Reporter: Wes McKinney > Assignee: Wes McKinney > Priority: Major > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > > We have various iterator-like classes.
