Jason Reid created ARROW-13696:
----------------------------------
Summary: [Python] Support for MapType with Fields
Key: ARROW-13696
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13696
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 5.0.0
Reporter: Jason Reid
Ability to create a
[MapType|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.map_.html]
object passing Field types instead of DataTypes for the key_type and item_type
arguments. Something similar to what is possible for
[ListType|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.list_.html#pyarrow.list_]
in python or what seems to be possible from the [cpp implementation of
MapType|https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/type.cc#L424]
(untested).
