ASF GitHub Bot updated ARROW-10261: ----------------------------------- Labels: pull-request-available (was: ) > [Rust] [BREAKING] Lists should take Field instead of DataType > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-10261 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10261 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Integration, Rust > Affects Versions: 1.0.1 > Reporter: Neville Dipale > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > There is currently no way of tracking nested field metadata on lists. For > example, if a list's children are nullable, there's no way of telling just by > looking at the Field. > This causes problems with integration testing, and also affects Parquet > roundtrips. > I propose the breaking change of [Large|FixedSize]List taking a Field instead > of Box<DataType>, as this will overcome this issue, and ensure that the Rust > implementation passes integration tests. > CC [~andygrove] [~jorgecarleitao] [~alamb] [~jhorstmann] ([~carols10cents] > as this addresses some of the roundtrip failures). > I'm leaning towards this landing in 3.0.0, as I'd love for us to have > completed or made significant traction on the Arrow Parquet writer (and > reader), and integration testing, by then. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
