etseidl opened a new pull request, #7995: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/7995
# Which issue does this PR close? - Relates to #7909. # Rationale for this change Another attempt at making unions forward compatible. This time using @jhorstmann's [suggestion](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/7909#issuecomment-3083696454) to add an `__UNKNOWN__` field to all unions. # What changes are included in this PR? Modified the thrift rust generator to add the unknonwn field. Necessary modifications to account for the new field when matching. Some thought would have to be given to how to behave when unknown fields are encountered...for now this work mostly panics or returns an error. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
