thisisnic opened a new issue, #50617:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/50617
### Describe the enhancement requested
In #49631 we enabled field metadata, i.e.
``` r
library(arrow)
mt_table <- arrow_table(mtcars)
mt_schema <- schema(mt_table)
mt_schema[["mpg"]] <- field("mpg", int32())$WithMetadata(list(description =
"miles per gallon"))
mt_table <- arrow_table(mtcars, schema = mt_schema)
mt_table$schema[["mpg"]]$metadata
#> $description
#> [1] "miles per gallon"
```
We should do something more with it so that users can see this information
and make better use of it. Before opening a PR we need to work out what the UX
should be.
