For _non-contiguous_, is it data types like int and string (logical level)? Maybe it is due to the combinatorial explosion of code (e.g. if you have to handle all combinations of string types (`Utf8`, `LargeUtf8` and `Utf8Vew`) for even three arguments, you end up with `3*3=9` specialized versions of the function 🤔 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
