Hi @alamb I have drafted a pull request #5576 , but I think it might need some modifications. It would be great if you could give some suggestions. 😇

[alamb]

Thanks @Kikkon -- I'll try and check it out later this week. It may be several days however as I am working on a bunch of other thing concurrently now as well

Hi @alamb , I might need your help. If you're available, could you assist in pushing forward the merging process of this PR? #5723

[alamb]

Hi @Kikkon -- I am very sorry about the delay. I am very backed up on reviews (I realize that #5723 has been hanging out for a long time).

Do you have some background on what you are trying to do with this feature (so I can try and find some other committers who might have bandwidth to help)?

Hi @alamb
PR #5723 is part of addressing issue #5501, aiming to enhance support for the ListView type in arrow-rs by add GenericListViewArray. Previously, PR #5664 introduced the basic data structure and validation. Once #5723 is merged, we will proceed with adding GenericListViewBuilder and the corresponding ArrayData equality.
