Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With the first phase of the libcudf core data structure redesign in place (#2207), we need to add a scalar type,
cudf::scalar
to replace the legacygdf_scalar
struct.Describe the solution you'd like
cudf::scalar
needs to support all the typesgdf_scalar
supports, as well as string and category scalar values. I think a good test ofgdf_scalar
is whether it can be used tocudf::fill()
a column of any type.I'm sure @jrhemstad has thoughts on design to share.
