Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-7945: ---------------------------------------------- [~bivald] that would indeed enable that, but not that you can already filter Tables/RecordBatches right now (only a different syntax, with the {{filter()}} method expecting a boolean mask) > [C++][Dataset] Implement InMemoryDatasetFactory > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-7945 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7945 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Ben Kietzman > Assignee: Ben Kietzman > Priority: Major > Labels: dataset > > This will allow in memory datasets (such as tables) to participate in > discovery through {{UnionDatasetFactory}}. This class will be trivial since > Inspect will do nothing but return the table's schema, but is necessary to > ensure that the resulting {{UnionDataset}}'s unified schema accommodates the > table's schema (for example including fields present only in the table's > schema or emitting an error when unification is not possible) -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
