Hey, Thanks for the ping! I think it would not benefit arrow2 directly right now as it has different declarations for `Field` (e.g. we do not have dict_id on it). Arrow2 also has an extension (`DataType::Extension`). With that said, imo it is still a good design - there are systems that only require `DataType`, `Field`, `Schema`, and functionality to read them from a file. One example is a data catalog based on arrow logical types. I think that datafusion's logical plans could also only depend on types, but I could be wrong (it depends on how List scalars are represented there?). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
