This change just moves the code from the Dictionary branch into this helper function. Since all the impls use slightly different coding styles, we could do a follow-up PR to make them consistent once all the variant cast implementations are complete.

Do we need to merge the two passes into one?

I don't understand what you are suggesting

Do you mean using one loop instead of two? That way we will compute the child array of each type_id on demand.
But IIUC, we will use all the child arrays anyway if it's a valid union, and I think precomute all the child arrays may benefit the lookup in the second loop.

Ah, yes, we'll use the same child_variant_array many times. The current would have a better performance

Thanks @liamzwbao -- this looks great. The only thing I think it is missing is a test for nulls in the UnionArray.
Thank you @klion26 for the review

could we please add a test for a UnionArray where the child element is null? So that the output VariantArray has a null as well?
