   Does the DataFrame API currently support unsigned integers? I suspect it 
does. If so supporting them within SQL seems reasonable to me, but I'm no SQL 
expert.
   
   My 2 cents is that the arrow specification likely is overly broad, who 
really needs 8 different types of dictionary encoding. However, its major 
selling point is portability, and only supporting a subset works against this. 
Whilst **I** may feel certain types are esoteric and unnecessary, they may be 
crucial to someone else's workload, and so we should endeavour to support what 
we reasonably can.
