GitHub user yangxk1 added a comment to the discussion: Any plans to add narrower ints (Int8/Int16) and unsigned (UInt8/16/32/64)?
Thanks for your interest in GraphAr. imo, GAR is based on Apache Arrow. Since Arrow already supports unsigned types and int8/int16, adding support for these types in GraphAr only requires updating [types.cc](https://github.com/apache/incubator-graphar/blob/main/cpp/src/graphar/types.cc). Whether they are supported at the physical level depends on the chosen storage format (CSV/Parquet/ORC). For example, int8 and int16 can be stored in ORC ([reference](https://orc.apache.org/docs/types.html)). I noticed that miniGU is a rust repository,the arrow also has a rust version :https://arrow.apache.org/rust/arrow/index.html GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/incubator-graphar/discussions/744#discussioncomment-14307341 ---- This is an automatically sent email for [email protected].
