Sebastien Binet commented on ARROW-8028:
----------------------------------------
I must say I fail to see the use case for a schema with multiple fields with
the same name (and possibly with different data types).
and it seems more like an error that should be caught very early on.
> [Go] Allow duplicate field names in schemas and nested types
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-8028
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8028
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Go
> Affects Versions: 0.16.0
> Reporter: Ben Kietzman
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.17.0
>
>
> Go's implementation of Schema panics if field names are duplicated within a
> schema. This is not guaranteed by the standard, so Go will not be able to
> handle valid record batches produced by other implementations which contain
> these.
