[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-5215) [C++] Need a way to change integer size in DictBuilder and AdaptiveIntBuilder

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5215?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16834836#comment-16834836 ] 

Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-5215:
---------------------------------------

Or, rather than change DictionaryBuilder, add a separate FixedDictionaryBuilder class.

> Currently, there's no way to choose the index type with DictionaryBuilder. Consequently, it's difficult to implement e.g. casts to a specific dictionary type (instead the DictionaryBuilder will select the smallest possible integer size for the index type).
> This will allow implementing "null to dict" casting.
