# Which issue does this PR close? This addresses the first part of #5342. # Rationale for this change Prior to this change, `RecordBatch::schema` returned a `SchemaRef`, which in most cases can only be used as an owned value. By instead returning `&SchemaRef`, users will have more flexibility in the way they use `RecordBatch::schema`; it's return value can be used as a borrowed value or cloned into an owned value. <!-- Why are you proposing this change? If this is already explained clearly in the issue then this section is not needed. Explaining clearly why changes are proposed helps reviewers understand your changes and offer better suggestions for fixes. --> # What changes are included in this PR? `RecordBatch::schema` returns `&SchemaRef` instead of `SchemaRef`. I made minor changes to parts of the code where `RecordBatch::schema` is called. # Are there any user-facing changes? Yes, this will affect the way that users use `RecordBatch::schema`. <!-- If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be updated before approving the PR. --> <!--- If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `breaking change` label. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
