[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-1790) [Format] Define logical data type
that represents a "packed C struct" composed from other fixed-size
primitive types
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1790?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17285909#comment-17285909 ]
Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-1790:

> This would embed data like

> struct Point {
> double x;
> double y;
> double z;
> };
> {code}
> Here the struct could be embedded in a {{FixedSizeBinary}} with width 24. This is similar to structured data types in NumPy and other libraries
