Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.

There is an arrow + parquet user that has encountered the need for a arrow::datatypes::DataType::Map. A map is a logical type for a physical type List<Struct<key={Primitive},value={Primitive}>>, so it shouldn't be as hard to implement as say Union.

Describe the solution you'd like

To add support for DataType::Map in the least possible way required to unblock the user. i.e. we might not want to support it in arrow::compute, but might want to support it in:

  • arrow::array
  • arrow::datatypes
  • arrow::json
  • arrow::ipc

Describe alternatives you've considered

None considered.
