\title{\code{match} and \code{\%in\%} for Arrow objects}
\usage{
match_arrow(x, table, ...)

is_in(x, table, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{\code{Scalar}, \code{Array} or \code{ChunkedArray}}

\item{table}{\code{Scalar}, Array\verb{, }ChunkedArray`, or R vector lookup table.}

\item{...}{additional arguments, ignored}
}
\value{
\code{match_arrow()} returns an \code{int32}-type Arrow object of the same length
and type as \code{x} with the (0-based) indexes into \code{table}. \code{is_in()} returns a
\code{boolean}-type Arrow object of the same length and type as \code{x} with values indicating
per element of \code{x} it it is present in \code{table}.
}
\description{
\code{base::match()} is not a generic, so we can't just define Arrow methods for
it. This function exposes the analogous functions in the Arrow C++ library.

is_in(Array$create("Mazda RX4 Wag"), cars_tbl$name)

# Although there are multiple matches, you are returned the index of the first 
# match, as with the base R equivalent
match(4, mtcars$cyl) # 1-indexed
match_arrow(Scalar$create(4), cars_tbl$cyl) # 0-indexed

# If `x` contains multiple values, you are returned the indices of the first 
# match for each value.
