> Instead of LogicalPhysicalType + LogicalPhysicalSchema to keep track of the relationship between the logical and physical type, could we get the unidirectional mapping of logical type from physical type? Oh now I understand. It makes sense to do it this way but it would lose the ability of potentially adding new [arrow-compatible physical encodings](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#extension-types) (e.g. logical `Utf8` with physical `List(UInt8)`) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
