hombit opened a new issue, #44544: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/44544
### Describe the enhancement requested `numpy` supports broadcasting, allowing operations between arrays of different lengths (e.g., multi-element and single-element arrays). It would be beneficial if pyarrow could implement similar behavior. Example: ```python import numpy as np import pyarrow as pa # Works in numpy np.array([1, 2, 3]) + np.array([4]) # Also works in pyarrow with a scalar pa.compute.add(pa.array([1, 2, 3]), 4) # Doesn't work in pyarrow with an array - raises # ArrowInvalid: Array arguments must all be the same length pa.compute.add(pa.array([1, 2, 3]), pa.array([4])) ``` This issue arose from a discussion in a related Pandas issue: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/60073. ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
