   Thanks @irenjj for working on this. I agree with @Blizzara. The display 
result should be reversible. I prefer to format the `List` type like the 
following way:
   ```rust
               DataType::List(field) => {
                   write!(f, "List({})", field.data_type())
               }
   ```
   The result would be something like `List(Int64)`. It can be parsed by 
`parse_data_type`.
   I think other list types can be formatted in the same way.
   Then, it's better to add the corresponding test cases at `list_datatypes`, 
where we will test the round-trip of data type parsing.
