> I find there are several issues in the format docs.
> 1) there is a claimed distinction between "logical types" and "physical types", but the "physical types" actually lists logical types such as Map
> 2) the "logical types" document doesn't actually list logical types, it just sends to the flatbuffers file. One shouldn't have to read a flatbuffers file to understand the Arrow format.
> 3) some terminology seems unusual, such as "relative type"
> 4) why is there a link to the Apache Drill docs?
