-----------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Clarify what signatures are preferred for compute
kernels
Key: ARROW-6959
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6959
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++
Reporter: Ben Kietzman
Fix For: 1.0.0
Many of the compute kernels feature functions which accept only array inputs in
addition to functions which accept Datums. The former seems implicitly like a
convenience wrapper around the latter but I don't think this is explicit
anywhere. Is there a preferred overload for bindings to use? Is it preferred
that C++ implementers provide convenience wrappers for different permutations
of argument type? (for example, Filter now provides an overload for record
batch input as well as array input)
