> The record batch builder takes a schema as input and uses that schema when
> creating the record batch.
> However when one or more fields are dictionaries, the data type is unknown
> until the dictionary builder flushes and the initial schema often does not
> match. The builder needs to modify the schema for the actual data type
> generated.
> This problem is easily reproduced by providing a schema with a field
> dictionary(int16(), utf8()) and adding a single row. This yields a data type
> of dictionary(int8(),utf8()).
