A ChunkedArray is a data structure managing a list of
primitive Arrow Arrays logically as one large array. Chunked arrays
may be grouped together in a Table.
chunked_array(..., type = NULL)Vectors to coerce
currently ignored
The ChunkedArray$create() factory method instantiates the object from
various Arrays or R vectors. chunked_array() is an alias for it.
$length()
$chunk(i)
$as_vector()
$Slice(offset, length = NULL)
$cast(target_type, safe = TRUE, options = cast_options(safe))
$null_count()
$chunks()
$num_chunks()
$type()
$View(type): Construct a zero-copy view of this chunked array with the given type.
$Validate() : Perform any validation checks to determine obvious inconsistencies
within the array's internal data. This can be an expensive check, potentially O(length)
