   > > Thanks. Functionally wise it works as expected, I still think we can 
reuse `Schema::equivalent_names_and_types` and not creating a separate method. 
So it can be replaced something like
   > > ```
   > > fn foo(schema: DFSchema, other: DFSchema) -> Result<bool> {
   > >     
SchemaRef::from(schema).equivalent_names_and_types(SchemaRef::from(other))
   > > }
   > > ```
   > 
   > Perhaps the best way is to have upstream support for this similar 
functionality.
   
   ideally yes. but I think upstream will be resisting, saying `.contains` 
method is enough. I'm ok with this PR with minor thing about code duplication. 
we will have to maintenance this trait and method and have test coverage for 
it, which currently is missing. @alamb I'll leave it to you
   
   Basically this wrapper should do the trick
   ```
   pub trait SchemaExt {
       /// This is a specialized version of Eq that ignores differences
       /// in nullability and metadata.
       ///
       /// It works the same as [`DFSchema::equivalent_names_and_types`].
       fn equivalent_names_and_types(&self, other: &Self) -> bool;
   }
   impl SchemaExt for Schema {
       fn equivalent_names_and_types(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
           
DFSchema::from(&self).equivalent_names_and_types(&DFSchema::from(other))
       }
   }
   ```
