[C++] Implement functions to conform unequal dictionaries amongst multiple Arrow arrays #16191

@asfimport

Description

@asfimport

We may wish to either

  • Conform the dictionary indices to reference a common dictionary
  • Concatenate indices into a new array with a common dictionary

This is related to in-memory dictionary encoding, as you start with a partially-built dictionary and then add entries as you observe new ones in other dictionaries, all the while "rebasing" indices to consistently reference the same dictionary at the end
