Wes McKinney / @wesm:
I think the chunked array short-circuiting should be a dataframe-level optimization

[asfimport]

Wes McKinney / @wesm:
With fresh eyes and ARROW-8792 in the rear view mirror, I believe Any should be implemented as a ScalarAggregateFunction, with some way for agg functions to communicate that they have short-circuited to the KernelContext

Isn't this the same thing as Max for booleans?

[asfimport]

Wes McKinney / @wesm:
It is, but it just needs to be able to short-circuit (i.e. if the max/any value in the state is already true, then skip examining the data chunk) for when we have parallel evaluation
