Function filter 

pub fn filter(
    values: &dyn Array,
    predicate: &BooleanArray,
) -> Result<Arc<dyn Array>, ArrowError>

Returns a filtered values Array where the corresponding elements of predicate are true.

If multiple arrays (or record batches) need to be filtered using the same predicate array, consider using FilterBuilder to create a single FilterPredicate and then calling FilterPredicate::filter_record_batch. In contrast to this function, it is then the responsibility of the caller to use FilterBuilder::optimize if appropriate.

• FilterBuilder for more control over the filtering process.
• filter_record_batch to filter a RecordBatch
• BatchCoalescer: to filter multiple RecordBatch and coalesce the results into a single array.

Example

let array = Int32Array::from(vec![5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);
let filter_array = BooleanArray::from(vec![true, false, false, true, false]);
let c = filter(&array, &filter_array).unwrap();
let c = c.as_any().downcast_ref::<Int32Array>().unwrap();
assert_eq!(c, &Int32Array::from(vec![5, 8]));
