Review Comment:
   I think one rationale was to put the appropriate metadata on the field (so 
the parquet writer knew what logical type to add), but I make be mistaken
   
   I don't fully understand the concerns about type coercion, but at least part 
of this API I think is designed to allow interoperability between other arrow 
implementations (aka not just reading back arrays that were written in Rust, 
but writing arrays that other writers will accept)
