   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   
   My initial problem was "I'm not sure what version of the Arrow spec(s) this 
library complies with". Documenting the level of support would be great.
   
   After some searching it seems that the `arrow` crate presently supports 
"Arrow columnar format version 1.3", as defined here: 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/3fe598ae4dfd7805ab05452dd5ed4b0d6c97d8d5/format/Schema.fbs#L20-L26
 
   I'm creating this tracking issue since I didn't see anything about 1.4 by 
trying obvious searches in GitHub issue search. To be clear, I'm not suffering 
from a lack of support for 1.4 features currently.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   
   Support everything in Arrow columnar format version 1.4. Based on
   - 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/9d6d501fb654a93496070b59fbe7f36f4f1ed604,
 which initially defined 1.4
   - 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/6d551aa88237325978f51dbe02773a0aec2bfe9d,
 which retroactively added to 1.4
   
   this would include support for "BinaryView, Utf8View, variadicBufferCounts, 
ListView, and LargeListView."
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   
   Declare an intention not to support things from 1.4, giving some rationale.
   
   **Additional context**
   n/a
