Function equal

pub fn equal(lhs: &ArrayData, rhs: &ArrayData) -> bool

Logically compares two ArrayData.

Two arrays are logically equal if and only if:

• their data types are equal
• their lengths are equal
• their null counts are equal
• their null bitmaps are equal
• each of their items are equal

Two items are equal when their in-memory representation is physically equal (i.e. has the same bit content).

The physical comparison depend on the data type.

Panics

This function may panic whenever any of the ArrayData does not follow the Arrow specification. (e.g. wrong number of buffers, buffer len does not correspond to the declared len)
