tustvold opened a new pull request #1244:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/1244
# Which issue does this PR close?
Closes #1032
# Rationale for this change
#1134 was a tad overzealous and moved some functionality behind the
experimental flags that downstream projects depend on.
# What changes are included in this PR?
* `arrow::schema` is made public, this is used by
[IOx](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb_iox/) to get the arrow schema from
parquet metadata cached in its catalog
* `data_type` is made public, this is used by
[sqlite2parquet](https://github.com/asayers/sqlite2parquet) in order to
interface with the `ColumnWriter` APIs
I debated spending the time to instead mark the various bits of these
modules experimental, but since the move to more frequent breaking releases
(#1120) there seems to be limited value add from such an undertaking. The
concept of experimental made sense when breaking changes were quarterly, now
that they're biweekly...
# Are there any user-facing changes?
No breaking changes, this can (and perhaps should be) a patch release.
