# Which issue does this PR close? - Part of https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/4886 - Related to https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/6965 # Rationale for this change The `arrow-avro` crate currently lacks support for the Avro `duration` type, which is a standard and commonly used type in Avro schemas. This omission prevents users from reading Avro files containing duration types, limiting the crate's utility. This change introduces support for decoding Avro duration types by mapping them to the Arrow `Interval` type. This is a logical and efficient representation. Implementing this feature brings the `arrow-avro` crate closer to full Avro specification compliance and makes it more robust for real-world use cases. # What changes are included in this PR? This PR contains: * arrow-avro decoder support for Duration types. * Minor fixes UUID decoding. UUID types now map to `utf8` type to better align with the [Avro specification](https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.11.1/specification/#uuid) * New integration test using a temporary `duration_uuid.avro` file crate using this python script: https://gist.github.com/jecsand838/cbdaaf581af78f357778bf87d2f3cf15 # Are these changes tested? Yes, this PR includes for integration and unit tests covering these modifications. # Are there any user-facing changes? N/A # Follow-Up PRs 1. PR to update `test_duration_uuid` once https://github.com/apache/arrow-testing/pull/108 is merged in. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
