[jira] [Created] (ARROW-13479) [Format] Make requirement around dense union offsets less ambiguous

Antoine Pitrou created ARROW-13479:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: [Format] Make requirement around dense union offsets less ambiguous
                 Key: ARROW-13479
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13479
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Format
            Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
             Fix For: 6.0.0


Currently, the spec states that dense union offsets for each child array must be "in order / increasing". There is an ambiguity: should they be strictly increasing, or are equal values supported?

The C++ implementation currently considers that equal offsets are acceptable.
