Module super_array_view 

SuperArrayView Module - Chunked, Windowed View over 1:M Arrays

SuperArrayV is a borrowed, chunked view over a single logical array, exposing an arbitrary [offset .. offset + len) window that may span multiple underlying chunks. It presents those chunks as one continuous logical range without copying the underlying memory.

Role

• Represents a mini-batch window for one Array (or one entry inside a SuperArray), useful for streaming, batching, or region-wise processing.
• Similar in shape to SuperArray, but semantically a view over a single column’s region rather than a bag of heterogeneous columns.

Interop

• Constructed by higher-level chunked containers (SuperArray::slice).
• Can be materialised to a contiguous Array via SuperArrayV::consolidate.
• Preserves schema via an Arc<Field>; no schema cloning per row.

Features

• Zero-copy iteration over chunks: chunks / iter.
• Row-wise logical iteration: iter_rows and random access via row_slice / get_value.
• Sub-windowing: slice returns another borrowed view.

Performance Notes

• Iterating rows may touch non-contiguous memory if the window crosses chunk boundaries. For hot loops, prefer contiguous runs or materialise with consolidate().

Invariants

• len is the logical row count of this view.
• slices are ordered, non-overlapping, and cover at most len rows.
• field is the schema for the underlying array and is shared by all slices.
