//! A comparable row-oriented representation of a collection of [`Array`].
//!
//! [`Row`]s are [normalized for sorting], and can therefore be very efficiently [compared],
//! using [`memcmp`] under the hood, or used in [non-comparison sorts] such as [radix sort].
//! This makes the row format ideal for implementing efficient multi-column sorting,
//! grouping, aggregation, windowing and more, as described in more detail
//! [in this blog post](https://arrow.apache.org/blog/2022/11/07/multi-column-sorts-in-arrow-rust-part-1/).
//!
//! For example, given three input [`Array`], [`RowConverter`] creates byte
//! sequences that [compare] the same as when using [`lexsort`].
//!

//!     (Columns)
//! ```
//!
//! _[`Rows`] must be generated by the same [`RowConverter`] for the comparison
//! to be meaningful._
//!
//! # Basic Example
//! ```
//! # use std::sync::Arc;
//! # use arrow_row::{RowConverter, SortField};
//! # use arrow_array::{ArrayRef, Int32Array, StringArray};
//! # use arrow_array::cast::{AsArray, as_string_array};
//! # use arrow_array::types::Int32Type;
//! # use arrow_schema::DataType;
//!
//! let a1 = Arc::new(Int32Array::from_iter_values([-1, -1, 0, 3, 3])) as ArrayRef;
//! let a2 = Arc::new(StringArray::from_iter_values(["a", "b", "c", "d", "d"])) as ArrayRef;
//! let arrays = vec![a1, a2];
//!
//! // Convert arrays to rows
//! let converter = RowConverter::new(vec![
//!     SortField::new(DataType::Int32),
//!     SortField::new(DataType::Utf8),
//! ]).unwrap();
//! let rows = converter.convert_columns(&arrays).unwrap();
//!
//! // Compare rows
//! for i in 0..4 {
//!     assert!(rows.row(i) <= rows.row(i + 1));
//! }
//! assert_eq!(rows.row(3), rows.row(4));
//!
//! // Convert rows back to arrays
//! let converted = converter.convert_rows(&rows).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(arrays, converted);
//!
//! // Compare rows from different arrays
//! let a1 = Arc::new(Int32Array::from_iter_values([3, 4])) as ArrayRef;
//! let a2 = Arc::new(StringArray::from_iter_values(["e", "f"])) as ArrayRef;
//! let arrays = vec![a1, a2];
//! let rows2 = converter.convert_columns(&arrays).unwrap();
//!
//! assert!(rows.row(4) < rows2.row(0));
//! assert!(rows.row(4) < rows2.row(1));
//!
//! // Convert selection of rows back to arrays
//! let selection = [rows.row(0), rows2.row(1), rows.row(2), rows2.row(0)];
//! let converted = converter.convert_rows(selection).unwrap();
//! let c1 = converted[0].as_primitive::<Int32Type>();
//! assert_eq!(c1.values(), &[-1, 4, 0, 3]);
//!
//! let c2 = converted[1].as_string::<i32>();
//! let c2_values: Vec<_> = c2.iter().flatten().collect();
//! assert_eq!(&c2_values, &["a", "f", "c", "e"]);
//! ```
//!
//! # Lexicographic Sorts (lexsort)
//!
//! The row format can also be used to implement a fast multi-column / lexicographic sort
//!
//! ```
//! # use arrow_row::{RowConverter, SortField};
//! # use arrow_array::{ArrayRef, UInt32Array};
//! fn lexsort_to_indices(arrays: &[ArrayRef]) -> UInt32Array {
//!     let fields = arrays
//!         .iter()
//!         .map(|a| SortField::new(a.data_type().clone()))
//!         .collect();
//!     let converter = RowConverter::new(fields).unwrap();
//!     let rows = converter.convert_columns(arrays).unwrap();
//!     let mut sort: Vec<_> = rows.iter().enumerate().collect();
//!     sort.sort_unstable_by(|(_, a), (_, b)| a.cmp(b));
//!     UInt32Array::from_iter_values(sort.iter().map(|(i, _)| *i as u32))
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Flattening Dictionaries
//!
//! For performance reasons, dictionary arrays are flattened ("hydrated") to their
//! underlying values during row conversion. See [the issue] for more details.
//!
//! This means that the arrays that come out of [`RowConverter::convert_rows`]
//! may not have the same data types as the input arrays. For example, encoding
//! a `Dictionary<Int8, Utf8>` and then will come out as a `Utf8` array.
//!
//! ```
//! # use arrow_array::{Array, ArrayRef, DictionaryArray};
//! # use arrow_array::types::Int8Type;
//! # use arrow_row::{RowConverter, SortField};
//! # use arrow_schema::DataType;
//! # use std::sync::Arc;
//! // Input is a Dictionary array
//! let dict: DictionaryArray::<Int8Type> = ["a", "b", "c", "a", "b"].into_iter().collect();
//! let sort_fields = vec![SortField::new(dict.data_type().clone())];
//! let arrays = vec![Arc::new(dict) as ArrayRef];
//! let converter = RowConverter::new(sort_fields).unwrap();
//! // Convert to rows
//! let rows = converter.convert_columns(&arrays).unwrap();
//! let converted = converter.convert_rows(&rows).unwrap();
//! // result was a Utf8 array, not a Dictionary array
//! assert_eq!(converted[0].data_type(), &DataType::Utf8);

/// Converts [`ArrayRef`] columns into a [row-oriented](self) format.
///
/// *Note: The encoding of the row format may change from release to release.*
///
/// ## Overview
///
/// The row format is a variable length byte sequence created by
/// concatenating the encoded form of each column. The encoding for
/// each column depends on its datatype (and sort options).
///
/// The encoding is carefully designed in such a way that escaping is
/// unnecessary: it is never ambiguous as to whether a byte is part of
/// a sentinel (e.g. null) or a value.
///
/// ## Unsigned Integer Encoding
///
/// A null integer is encoded as a `0_u8`, followed by a zero-ed number of bytes corresponding
/// to the integer's length.
///
/// A valid integer is encoded as `1_u8`, followed by the big-endian representation of the
/// integer.
///

///
/// ## Float Encoding
///
/// Floats are converted from IEEE 754 representation to a signed integer representation
/// by flipping all bar the sign bit if they are negative.
///
/// They are then encoded in the same manner as a signed integer.
///
/// ## Fixed Length Bytes Encoding
///
/// Fixed length bytes are encoded in the same fashion as primitive types above.
///
/// For a fixed length array of length `n`:
///
/// A null is encoded as `0_u8` null sentinel followed by `n` `0_u8` bytes
///
/// A valid value is encoded as `1_u8` followed by the value bytes
///
/// ## Variable Length Bytes (including Strings) Encoding
///
/// A null is encoded as a `0_u8`.
///
/// An empty byte array is encoded as `1_u8`.
///
/// A non-null, non-empty byte array is encoded as `2_u8` followed by the byte array
/// encoded using a block based scheme described below.
///
/// The byte array is broken up into fixed-width blocks, each block is written in turn
/// to the output, followed by `0xFF_u8`. The final block is padded to 32-bytes
/// with `0_u8` and written to the output, followed by the un-padded length in bytes
/// of this final block as a `u8`. The first 4 blocks have a length of 8, with subsequent
/// blocks using a length of 32, this is to reduce space amplification for small strings.
///
/// Note the following example encodings use a block size of 4 bytes for brevity:
///

/// This approach is loosely inspired by [COBS] encoding, and chosen over more traditional
/// [byte stuffing] as it is more amenable to vectorisation, in particular AVX-256.

/// ## Dictionary Encoding
///
/// Dictionary encoded arrays are hydrated to their underlying values
///
/// ## REE Encoding
///
/// REE (Run End Encoding) arrays, A form of Run Length Encoding, are hydrated to their underlying values.
///
/// ## Struct Encoding
///
/// A null is encoded as a `0_u8`.
///
/// A valid value is encoded as `1_u8` followed by the row encoding of each child.
///
/// This encoding effectively flattens the schema in a depth-first fashion.
///
/// For example
///
/// ```text

/// │ Int32 │ Struct[Int32, Float32] │ Int32 │
/// └───────┴────────────────────────┴───────┘
/// ```
///

///
/// ```text
/// ┌───────┬───────────────┬───────┬─────────┬───────┐
/// │ Int32 │ Null Sentinel │ Int32 │ Float32 │ Int32 │
/// └───────┴───────────────┴───────┴─────────┴───────┘
/// ```
///
/// ## List and Map Encoding
///
/// Lists are encoded by first encoding all child elements to the row format.
///
/// The Map encoding is the same with the only difference being that the child elements are key-value pairs.
///
/// A list/map value is then encoded as the concatenation of each of the child elements,
/// separately encoded using the variable length encoding described above, followed
/// by the variable length encoding of an empty byte array.
///
/// For example given:
///
/// ```text
/// [1_u8, 2_u8, 3_u8]
/// [1_u8, null]
/// []
/// null
/// ```
///
/// The elements would be converted to:

/// ## ListView Encoding
///
/// ListView arrays differ from List arrays in their representation: instead of using
/// consecutive offset pairs to define each list, ListView uses explicit offset and size
/// pairs for each element. This allows ListView elements to reference arbitrary (potentially
/// overlapping) regions of the child array.
///
/// Despite this structural difference, ListView uses the **same row encoding as List**.
/// Each list value is encoded as the concatenation of its child elements (each separately
/// variable-length encoded), followed by a variable-length encoded empty byte array terminator.
///
/// **Important**: When a ListView is decoded back from row format, it is still a
/// ListView, but any child element sharing that may have existed in the original
/// (where multiple list entries could reference overlapping regions of the child
/// array) is **not preserved** - each list's children are decoded independently
/// with sequential offsets.
///
/// For example, given a ListView with offset/size pairs:
///

///
/// ## Float Ordering
///
/// Floats are totally ordered in accordance to the `totalOrder` predicate as defined
/// in the IEEE 754 (2008 revision) floating point standard.
///
/// The ordering established by this does not always agree with the
/// [`PartialOrd`] and [`PartialEq`] implementations of `f32`. For example,
/// they consider negative and positive zero equal, while this does not
///
/// ## Null Ordering
///
/// The encoding described above will order nulls first, this can be inverted by representing
/// nulls as `0xFF_u8` instead of `0_u8`
///
/// ## Union Ordering
///
/// Values of the same type are ordered according to the ordering of that type.
/// Values of different types are ordered by their type id.
/// The type_id is negated when descending order is specified.
///
/// ## Reverse Column Ordering
///
/// The order of a given column can be reversed by negating the encoded bytes of non-null values
