> I think there wouldn't be much debate over what the canonical mapping of format strings to aliases would be. I forgot about parameterized types here...using the C Data interface definitions would avoid having to maintain a third (fourth?) way to serialize/deserialize the unit/timezone/bitwidth. Or alternatively, defer to the IPC spec and flatten everything into one object (nanoarrow's C/SchemaView and Python/Schema do this). I personally think that wrapping the Field and DataType concepts in to one object is helpful (but IPC/Integration testing JSON specifically avoid this). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
