fix: Make fewer copies when building a string array#5503
Merged
Conversation
"In the last few months a performance degradation has crept in when processing flux. One possible cause was the changes that were made to the way string arrays were built, which always built a full array even if it would ultimately not be needed. This change ensures that a full arrow array is only created when necessary.

Change the StringBuilder to only create an arrow builder when it becomes necessary. Whist the StringBuilder has only a single distinct value it will just record how long the array is. Creating an arrow.StringBuilder when a second distinct value is added.
