Matthew Peterson updated ARROW-14228:
-------------------------------------
Description:
The current implementation of the Field class does not allow for the creation
of nullable fields - nullable is hard-coded as TRUE.
{{{{Field$create <- function(name, type, metadata) {}}}}
{{ \{{ assert_that(inherits(name, "character"), length(name) == 1L)}}}}
{{ \{{ type <- as_type(type, name)}}}}
{{ \{{ assert_that(missing(metadata), msg = "metadata= is currently
ignored")}}}}
{{ {{ Field__initialize(enc2utf8(name), type, *TRUE*)}}}}
{{ {{}}}}}
