[jira] [Created] (ARROW-5991) [C++] Does DictionaryBuilder need
to be a subclass of ArrayBuilder?
Wes McKinney created ARROW-5991:
-----------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Does DictionaryBuilder<T> need to be a subclass of ArrayBuilder?
Key: ARROW-5991
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5991
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++
Reporter: Wes McKinney
I note that {{DictionaryBuilder<T>}} is book-keeping properties both in {{values_builder_}} as well as itself, such as {{length_}} and {{null_count_}}.
There are two possibilities:
* DictionaryBuilder need not be a subclass of ArrayBuilder
* A common abstract base for builders could be defined to allow properties like {{length_}} to be forwarded by virtual overrides
