Amol Umbarkar created ARROW-8563:
------------------------------------
Summary: Minor change to make newBuilder public
Key: ARROW-8563
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8563
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Go
Reporter: Amol Umbarkar
This minor change makes newBuilder() public to reduce verbosity for downstream.
To give you example, I am working on a parquet read / write into Arrow Record
batch where the parquet data types are mapped to Arrow data types.
My Repo: [https://github.com/mindhash/arrow-parquet-go]
In such cases, it will be nice to have a builder API (newBuilder) be generic to
accept a data type and return a respective array.
I am looking at a similar situation for JSON reader. I think this change will
make the builder API much easier for upstream as well as internal packages.
