See https://arrow.apache.org/rust/arrow/array/type.GenericStringBuilder.html#example-incrementally-writing-strings-with-stdfmtwrite > Perhaps by iterating through the rev iterator, writing chars one at a time. I tested this solution and the performance is not as good as this PR. > If the above is slower, it could also be interesting to see if reusing the String allocation with a clear() on every loop is faster Indeed, this one is faster. I will update the code and provide benchmarks shortly. TYSM ❤️ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
