Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-15554: ---------------------------------------- Hi [~sgilmore] , thank you for the explanation. In any case, format additions have to be discussed and voted on on the development mailing-list. I encourage you to create a new discussion there: see [https://arrow.apache.org/community/] > [Format][C++] Add "LargeMap" type with 64-bit offsets > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-15554 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15554 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++, Format > Reporter: Sarah Gilmore > Priority: Major > > It would be nice if a "LargeMap" type existed along side the "Map" type for > parity. For other datatypes that require offset arrays/buffers, such as > String, List, BinaryArray, provides a "large" version of these types, i.e. > LargeString, LargeList, and LargeBinaryArray. It would be nice to have a > "LargeMap" for parity. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
