[jira] [Created] (ARROW-2431) [Rust] Schema fidelity

Maximilian Roos created ARROW-2431:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: [Rust] Schema fidelity
                 Key: ARROW-2431
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2431
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Rust
            Reporter: Maximilian Roos


ref [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1829#discussion_r179248743]

Currently our Traits are not loyal to [https://arrow.apache.org/docs/metadata.html].

For example, we nest `Field`s in the `DataType` (aka `type`) attribute of the parent Field (rather than having the type be `Struct` and a separate `Children` parameter)

 

Is this OK, assuming that we can read and write accurate schemas? Or should we move towards having the Schema trait be consistent with the metadata spec?
