URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion-python/issues/172

   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
   There are multiple codebases used in the `arrow-datafusion-python` project. You have
   
   - Arrow DataTypes
   - Python types
   - SQL Types
   
   and they all need a way to "map" to one another. By "map" I mean if I am working in Python and have a given type, say `str`, I would like to know what type that correlates to in both Arrow DataTypes and SQL. Likewise I might have a SQL query that returns a `VARCHAR` and like to know which type I should use in Python.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   A Rust struct that can house the mappings of types and provide simple static methods for acquiring those type mappings.
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   None
   
   **Additional context**
   None
