Hi How do you go about implementing an extension type through the C API for Arrow?
Creating a record batch in python like the example in pyarrow tests [here](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/2a5f92455ec4f9788ee96fa209b38d76bd927196/python/pyarrow/tests/test_extension_type.py#L375), and reading the resulting schema using the C API, it correctly reads it as an array of the underlying storage type. The schema along with the metadata can be printed as expected. ``` ext: int64 -- metadata -- ARROW:extension:metadata: freq=D ARROW:extension:name: test.period ``` However, trying to access the metadata for the schema (obtained with `garrow_schema_get_metadata`) indicates its size to be 0, which indicates that metadata for the schema isn't the same as that for a field. Is it possible using the existing API to read/write the metadata for a field? Thank you, Ishan
