[jira] [Updated] (ARROW-14228) [R] Allow for creation of nullable fields

["Matthew Peterson (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14228?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Matthew Peterson updated ARROW-14228:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
The current implementation of the Field class does not allow for the creation of nullable fields - nullable is hard-coded as TRUE.

 

{{{{Field$create <- function(name, type, metadata) {}}}}
{{ \{{ assert_that(inherits(name, "character"), length(name) == 1L)}}}}
{{ \{{ type <- as_type(type, name)}}}}
{{ \{{ assert_that(missing(metadata), msg = "metadata= is currently ignored")}}}}
{{ {{ Field__initialize(enc2utf8(name), type, *TRUE*)}}}}
{{ {{}}}}}

  was:

{{Field$create <- function(name, type, metadata) {}}

{{ Field__initialize(enc2utf8(name), type, *TRUE*)}}
