**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** - While writing examples in https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/8133 I hit an an issue that the conversion from JSON --> Variant is only supported for StringArray which was surprising to me Specifically the code here only supports StringArray: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/f248da3cc39161af436b6337b2ae836168d13abe/parquet-variant-compute/src/from_json.rs#L30-L35 **Describe the solution you'd like** I would like to be able to convert data other than just StringArray such as `LargeStringArray` and `StringViewArray` **Describe alternatives you've considered** Add support and tests for LargeStringArray and StringViewArray to `batch_json_string_to_variant` **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
