Fokko opened a new issue, #44583: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/44583
### Describe the enhancement requested First of all, great to see that Numpy has been dropped as a dependency (https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/44148). This makes PyArrow much leaner. At PyIceberg we still use Numpy for generating and combining sequences for positional deletes https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/1259 We can replace most of it with pure Arrow logic, except for generating the sequence. Generating using `range` is very slow, and it would be great to also have a `np.arange` equivalent in Arrow itself. ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
