@alamb this is the basic idea I have. Lemme know if I should change this.
```rust
let schema: Arc<Schema> = ...;
let options: RecordBatchOptions = ...;
let array: Arc<Int32Array> = ...; // Can have more arrays
record_batch!(schema); // Creates empty RecordBatch
record_batch!(schema, [array]); // Returns a result
record_batch!(schema, [array], options); // Creates w/ options, returns a
result
```
Or do we want something that allows us to write a template-like, visually
intuitive structure for creating an RB? For instance:
```rust
record_batch!{
// Always required
[
"id", Int32, false // More fields can go in next lines
],
// Following bit be optional.
// Not giving data would create an empty RecordBatch
[
Int32Array[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] // More arrays can go in next lines
],
// `RecordBatchOptions` with `match_field_names` = false & `row_count` =
Some(10)
// This bit is optional, and the absence will just use the default
options
{true, 10}
}
```
Also, how do we reconcile the return types in this case?
- Using just `Schema` would create a `RecordBatch` directly
- Any other combination would return `Result<RecordBatch>`
