## Which issue does this PR close? N/A ## Rationale for this change The fact that most of the DataFusion codebase uses `fn data_type()` to retrieve the datatype but `ScalarValue` uses `get_datatype` is frustrating to me. It is a very small rough edge, but one that is easy to fix ## What changes are included in this PR? 1. Add `ScalarValue::data_type()` 2. Add docs to `ScalarValue::get_datatype` Note I did not actually `#deprecate` get_datatype as I thought that would be too large a change. I can do so if people would like however. <!-- There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR. --> ## Are these changes tested? I changed a few locations to call `ScalarValue::data_type` <!-- We typically require tests for all PRs in order to: 1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes 4. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are they covered by existing tests)? --> ## Are there any user-facing changes? <!-- If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be updated before approving the PR. --> <!-- If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `api change` label. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
