Wes McKinney created ARROW-8368: ----------------------------------- Summary: [Format] In C interface, clarify resource management for consumers needing only a subset of child fields in ArrowArray Key: ARROW-8368 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8368 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: Format Reporter: Wes McKinney
The current implication of the C Interface is that only moving a single child out of an ArrowArray is allowed. Questions: * Should it be allowed to move multiple children, as long as they are moved at the same time, and the parent is released after? * In the event that children have disjoint internal resources, should there be a clarification around moved children having their resources released independently?
