[jira] [Closed] (ARROW-12223) ArrayData buffers are inconsistent
accross implementations
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12223?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andrew Lamb closed ARROW-12223.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
> ArrayData buffers are inconsistent accross implementations
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-12223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12223
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++, JavaScript, Rust
> Reporter: Vincent Trumpff
> Priority: Major
>
> ArrayData implementations seems to share close structure fields accross languages, but their usage is not consistent accross implementation.
>
> Example using ListArray's offsets buffer, in C++, Rust and JavaScript implementation:
> - C++: offset's buffer is the second buffer (validity bitmap is first buffer, and buffers are laid in a type-dependant way) https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/array/array_nested.cc#L189
> - Rust: offset's buffer is the first buffer (validity bitmap is not part of the collection, and buffers are laid in a type-dependant way) https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/rust/arrow/src/array/array_list.rs#L235
> - JavaScript: offset's buffer is the first buffer (they have fixed position) [https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/8e43f23dcc6a9e630516228f110c48b64d13cec6/js/src/data.ts#L125]
>
> Note that we have the same inconsistency for validity and data buffers.
>
> This is important in my project because I would like to transport buffers list accross technologies, and ArrayData seemed the easiest structure to transport.
