    Description

      (from discussion in ARROW-9489 with maartenbreddels)

      A general "where" kernel like np.where (https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.where.html) seems a generally useful kernel to have, and could also help mimicking some other python (setitem-like) operations.

      The concrete use case in ARROW-9489 is to basically do a fill_null(array[string], array[string]) which could be expressed as where(is_null(arr), arr2, arr).
