While I certainly understand the distinction of it being the _intermediate_ system not knowing how to interpret the type (where in the example of GDAL the type is of course definitly known to GDAL), the "not knowing" part is bit fluid. One of the examples given is the PostgreSQL polygon type, which AFAIK is a built-in postgres type. The driver not knowing about this type seems to be a choice you make in the implementation (although disclaimer I am not familiar with the actual implementation). The postgres driver _could_ perfectly know about the polygon type if you wanted? But I assume that is not done right now because there is no matching type on the Arrow side to map it to. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
