[jira] [Created] (ARROW-4176) [C++/Python] Human readable arrow schema comparison

Florian Jetter created ARROW-4176:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: [C++/Python] Human readable arrow schema comparison
                 Key: ARROW-4176
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4176
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Florian Jetter


When working with arrow schemas it would be helpful to have a human readable representation of the diff between two schemas.

This could be either exposed as a function returning a string/diff object or via a function raising an Exception with this information.

For instance:
{code}
schema_diff = get_schema_diff(schema1, schema2)
expected_diff = """
- col_changed: int8
+ col_changed: double

+ col_additional: int8
"""
assert schema_diff == expected_diff
{code}
