Method into_array_of_size

datafusion/expr-common/src/columnar_value.rs:156–171

Convert a columnar value into an Arrow [`ArrayRef`] with the specified number of rows. [`Self::Scalar`] is converted by repeating the same scalar multiple times which is not as efficient as handling the scalar directly. This validates that if this is [`Self::Array`], it has the expected length. See [`Self::values_to_arrays`] to convert multiple columnar values into arrays of the same length. # E
