jorgecarleitao opened a new issue #681: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/681
The dictionary metadata in FFI (and IPC AFAIK) stores not only the type, but also a name and nullability of the dictionary of the array. However, we currently can't store that information in `DataType::Dictionary`, therefore failing to roundtrip it. Changing it to `DataType::Dictionary(DataType,Field)` (with the boxes for sizing) would allow these rountrips. (Note, this is not 100% certain for me; I am opening the discussion here) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
