[GitHub] [arrow-datafusion] alamb commented on issue #7353: Make ScalarValue an ArrayRef Wrapper

   I personally think there is great value in using `ArrayRef` for things like `ScalarValue::List` and `ScalarValue::Struct`. I am not at all sure making `ScalarValue::Int8` or other primitive types is a great idea
   
   My rationale is that the overhead for converting `ScalarValue::Int8` to an ArrayRef on demand when needed by calculation kernels or something similar, is likely to be lower than the overhead of copying ArrayRefs around (serializing them, for example).
