There are some field names that are kind of useless (such as those in `map` and `list`). In Arrow C++, we disabled checking those as part of equality unless specifically asked for. https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/14847 Field metadata definitely matters, since that may contain extension type information. I'm not sure about top-level schema metadata. In many cases I think I'd be fine ignoring that by default, or at least I haven't encountered a situation where I really wanted it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
