   This doesn't work and I can't find a way to make it work.  (arrow is too 
obscure for me to work out)
   
   What I want is an array of structs from a dataframe.  Using a work around to 
encode lists in records as json,  the following allows me to achieve what I 
want.  Closing.
   
   ```
   func collectStruct[T interface{}](ctx context.Context, df sql.DataFrame) 
([]T, error) {
        rows, err := df.Collect(ctx)
        if err != nil {
                return []T{}, err
        }
   
        schema, err := df.Schema(ctx)
        if err != nil {
                return []T{}, err
        }
   
        res := make([]T, len(rows))
        for i, row := range rows {
                vals, _ := row.Values()
                u := map[string]interface{}{}
                a := []interface{}{}
                for ci, v := range vals {
                        // embedded lists don't work with spark-connect.  
encode as json
                        err = json.Unmarshal([]byte(fmt.Sprint(v)), &a)
                        if err == nil {
                                v = a
                        }
                        u[schema.Fields[ci].Name] = v
                }
                dbByte, _ := json.Marshal(u)
                _ = json.Unmarshal(dbByte, &res[i])
   
        }
   
        return res, nil
   
   }
   
   ```
