Currently serde_arrow supports dictionaries of string values (categories), as this the most common use case. Arrow2 allows all hashable types to be used in a dictionary array. It actually uses only the hash and does not test for equality.

Q: How can serde_arrow support more general dictionary types?

  • Only use hashses? (as arrow2 does)
  • Use the new Value object to fully collect serialized objects in memory?
