[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-6603) [C#] ArrayBuilder API to support writing nulls

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16938975#comment-16938975 ] 

Anthony Abate commented on ARROW-6603:
--------------------------------------

I have a few extension methods that do this - on thing i noticed, the spec seems to refer to terms NullBitmap and ValidityBitmaps - I think ValidityBitmap might be the more correct term since 1 = valid, whereas NullBitmap sounds like 1 = null.   My first attempt at creating the nullbitmap inverted all the values

> We should add some APIs to support writing nulls.
