>                 Key: ARROW-10377
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10377
>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
>            Reporter: Tanguy Fautre
>            Assignee: Micah Kornfield
>            Priority: Major

> I'm updating ParquetSharp to build against Arrow 2.0.0 (currently using Arrow 1.0.1). One of our unit test is now throwing a {{nullptr}} access violation.
> I have narrowed it down to writing arrays of non-nullable values (in this case the column contains {{int[]}}) . If the values are nullable, the test passes.
> The parquet file schema is as following:
> * {{GroupNode("schema", LogicalType.None, Repetition.Required)}}
> ** {{GroupNode("array_of_ints_column", LogicalType.List, Repetition.Optional)}}
> *** {{GroupNode("list", LogicalType.None, Repetition.Repeated)}}
> **** {{PrimitiveNode("item", LogicalType.Int(32, signed), Repetition.Required)}} 
> The test crashes when calling {{TypedColumnWriter::WriteBatchSpaced}} with the following  arguments:
> * {{num_values = 1}}
> * {{def_levels = &#123;0&#125;}}
> * {{rep_levels = &#123;0&#125;}}
> * {{valid_bits = &#123;0&#125;}}
> * {{valid_bit_offset = 0}}
> * {{values = &#123;&#125;}} (i.e. {{nullptr}})
> This call is effectively trying to write a null array, and therefore (to my understanding) does not need to pass any values. Yet further down the callstack, the implementation tries to read one value out of {{values}} (which is {{nullptr}}).
> I believe the problem lies with
> {code:c++}
>   void MaybeCalculateValidityBits(
>     const int16_t* def_levels,
>     int64_t batch_size,
>     int64_t* out_values_to_write,
>     int64_t* out_spaced_values_to_write,
>     int64_t* null_count) {
>     if (bits_buffer_ == nullptr) {
>       if (!level_info_.HasNullableValues()) {
>         *out_values_to_write = batch_size;
>         *out_spaced_values_to_write = batch_size;
>         *null_count = 0;
>       } else {
>         for (int x = 0; x < batch_size; x++) {
>           *out_values_to_write += def_levels[x] == level_info_.def_level ? 1 : 0;
>           *out_spaced_values_to_write +=
>               def_levels[x] >= level_info_.repeated_ancestor_def_level ? 1 : 0;
>         }
>         *null_count = *out_values_to_write - *out_spaced_values_to_write;
>       }
>       return;
>     }
>     // ...
>   }
> {code}
> In particular, {{level_info_.HasNullableValues()}} returns {{false}} given that the arrays cannot contain null-values. My understanding is that this is wrong, since the arrays themselves are nullable.
> This code appears to have been introduced by ARROW-9603.
