We're still decoding and encoding in case of top-level primitives though. It's in a separate branch for now. The test is failing because equality on variant is also checking for metadata buffer equality. Here it is: https://github.com/Samyak2/arrow-rs/commit/00bd07dd322fc66791b5decbf0c04a0ddb56f417 If this is what you meant, I'll find a way to make the tests pass and add it here -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
