vmit opened a new issue, #46377: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/46377
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. Calling `pa.compute.take()` (or `arrow::compute::Take()` in C++) on an REE encoded array is not supported. While it's clear that the implementation will probably be non-trivial, from the functional perspective, there is no reason not to have it. IIUC, the `Take()` function is the canonical way to sort data, so that if a `Table` has an REE column, such sorting fails. Min reproduction: ```python import pyarrow as pa rle_encoded = pa.compute.run_end_encode([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3]) pa.compute.take(rle_encoded, pa.array([0,2,4,6])) ``` ### Component(s) C++, Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
