[jira] [Created] (ARROW-254) Remove Bit type as it is redundant with boolean

Julien Le Dem created ARROW-254:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Remove Bit type as it is redundant with boolean
                 Key: ARROW-254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-254
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Format
            Reporter: Julien Le Dem


The only use of Bit is for the nullability (or validity) vector which is best understood as a boolean type.
We should remove it as it is not used otherwise.
