Type Alias BinaryViewBuilder

pub type BinaryViewBuilder = GenericByteViewBuilder<BinaryViewType>;

Array builder for BinaryViewArray

Values can be appended using GenericByteViewBuilder::append_value, and nulls with GenericByteViewBuilder::append_null as normal.

Example

use arrow_array::BinaryViewArray;
let mut builder = BinaryViewBuilder::new();
builder.append_value("hello");
builder.append_null();
builder.append_value("world");
let array = builder.finish();

let expected: Vec<Option<&[u8]>> = vec![Some(b"hello"), None, Some(b"world")];
let actual: Vec<_> = array.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(expected, actual);
