Amol Umbarkar commented on ARROW-8563: -------------------------------------- Submitted a pull request #7014 > 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 > Priority: Minor > Labels: pull-request-available > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
