Wes McKinney updated ARROW-6818:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.0.0)
> [Doc] Format docs confusing
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-6818
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6818
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation, Format
> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Assignee: Micah Kornfield
> Priority: Major
>
> I find there are several issues in the format docs.
> 1) there is a claimed distinction between "logical types" and "physical
> types", but the "physical types" actually lists logical types such as Map
> 2) the "logical types" document doesn't actually list logical types, it just
> sends to the flatbuffers file. One shouldn't have to read a flatbuffers file
> to understand the Arrow format.
> 3) some terminology seems unusual, such as "relative type"
> 4) why is there a link to the Apache Drill docs?
