Data types in this library are all logical. They can be expressed as either a primitive physical type (bytes or bits of some fixed size), a nested type consisting of other data types, or another data type (e.g. a timestamp encoded as an int64).
Simple datatypes may be entirely described by their Type::type id, but complex datatypes are usually parametric.

#include <arrow/type.h>
Concrete type class for 32-bit decimal data.
Arrow decimals are fixed-point decimal numbers encoded as a scaled integer. The precision is the number of significant digits that the decimal type can represent; the scale is the number of digits after the decimal point (note the scale can be negative).
As an example, Decimal32Type(7, 3) can exactly represent the numbers 1234.567 and -1234.567 (encoded internally as the 32-bit integers 1234567 and -1234567, respectively), but neither 12345.67 nor 123.4567.
Decimal32Type has a maximum precision of 9 significant digits (also available as Decimal32Type::kMaxPrecision). If higher precision is needed, consider using Decimal64Type, Decimal128Type or Decimal256Type.

#include <arrow/type.h>
Concrete type class for datetime data (as number of seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds since UNIX epoch)
If supplied, the timezone string should take either the form (i) âArea/Locationâ, with values drawn from the names in the IANA Time Zone Database (such as âEurope/Zurichâ); or (ii) â(+|-)HH:MMâ indicating an absolute offset from GMT (such as â-08:00â). To indicate a native UTC timestamp, one of the strings âUTCâ, âEtc/UTCâ or â+00:00â should be used.
If any non-empty string is supplied as the timezone for a TimestampType, then the Arrow field containing that timestamp type (and by extension the column associated with such a field) is considered âtimezone-awareâ. The integer arrays that comprise a timezone-aware column must contain UTC normalized datetime values, regardless of the contents of their timezone string. More precisely, (i) the producer of a timezone-aware column must populate its constituent arrays with valid UTC values (performing offset conversions from non-UTC values if necessary); and (ii) the consumer of a timezone-aware column may assume that the columnâs values are directly comparable (that is, with no offset adjustment required) to the values of any other timezone-aware column or to any other valid UTC datetime value (provided all values are expressed in the same units).
If a TimestampType is constructed without a timezone (or, equivalently, if the timezone supplied is an empty string) then the resulting Arrow field (column) is considered âtimezone-naiveâ. The producer of a timezone-naive column may populate its constituent integer arrays with datetime values from any timezone; the consumer of a timezone-naive column should make no assumptions about the interoperability or comparability of the values of such a column with those of any other timestamp column or datetime value.
If a timezone-aware field contains a recognized timezone, its values may be localized to that locale upon display; the values of timezone-naive fields must always be displayed âas isâ, with no localization performed on them.

#include <arrow/type.h>
Variable length string or binary with inline optimization for small values (12 bytes or fewer).
This is similar to std::string_view except limited in size to INT32_MAX and at least the first four bytes of the string are copied inline (accessible without pointer dereference). This inline prefix allows failing comparisons early. Furthermore when dealing with short strings the CPU cache working set is reduced since many can be inline.
This union supports two states:
Entirely inlined string data
|----|--------------| ^ ^ | | size in-line string data, zero padded
Reference into a buffer
|----|----|----|----|
^ ^ ^ ^
| | | |
size | | `------.
prefix | |
buffer index |
offset in buffer
Adapted from TU Munichâs UmbraDB 1, Velox, DuckDB.
Alignment to 64 bits enables an aligned load of the size and prefix into a single 64 bit integer, which is useful to the comparison fast path.
Public Functions

True if the viewâs data is entirely stored inline.
Return a pointer to the inline data of a view.

#include <arrow/type.h>
Concrete type class for sparse union data.
A sparse union is a nested type where each logical value is taken from a single child. A buffer of 8-bit type ids indicates which child a given logical value is to be taken from.
In a sparse union, each child array should have the same length as the union array, regardless of the actual number of union values that refer to it.
Note that, unlike most other types, unions donât have a top-level validity bitmap.
Public Functions
A string name of the type, omitting any child fields.
0.7.0
#include <arrow/type.h>
Concrete type class for dense union data.
A dense union is a nested type where each logical value is taken from a single child, at a specific offset. A buffer of 8-bit type ids indicates which child a given logical value is to be taken from, and a buffer of 32-bit offsets indicates at which physical position in the given child array the logical value is to be taken from.
Unlike a sparse union, a dense union allows encoding only the child array values which are actually referred to by the union array. This is counterbalanced by the additional footprint of the offsets buffer, and the additional indirection cost when looking up values.
Note that, unlike most other types, unions donât have a top-level validity bitmap.

fields â (name, type) pairs of the schemaâs fields
endianness â the endianness of the data
metadata â any custom key-value metadata, default null
schema shared_ptr to Schema
The combination of a field name and data type, with optional metadata.
Fields are used to describe the individual constituents of a nested DataType or a Schema.
A fieldâs metadata is represented by a KeyValueMetadata instance, which holds arbitrary key-value pairs.
Public Functions
Return the fieldâs attached metadata.
Return whether the field has non-empty metadata.
Return a copy of this field with the given metadata attached to it.
EXPERIMENTAL: Return a copy of this field with the given metadata merged with existing metadata (any colliding keys will be overridden by the passed metadata)
Return a copy of this field without any metadata attached to it.
Return a copy of this field with the replaced type.
Return a copy of this field with the replaced name.
Return a copy of this field with the replaced nullability.
Merge the current field with a field of the same name.
The two fields must be compatible, i.e:
have the same name
have the same type, or of compatible types according to options.
The metadata of the current field is preserved; the metadata of the other field is discarded.
Indicate if fields are equals.
other â [in] field to check equality with.
check_metadata â [in] controls if it should check for metadata equality.
true if fields are equal, false otherwise.
Indicate if fields are compatibles.
See the criteria of MergeWith.
true if fields are compatible, false otherwise.
Return a string representation ot the field.
show_metadata â [in] when true, if KeyValueMetadata is non-empty, print keys and values in the output
Return the field name.
Return the field data type.
Return whether the field is nullable.
Options that control the behavior of MergeWith.
Options are to be added to allow type conversions, including integer widening, promotion from integer to float, or conversion to or from boolean.
Public Functions
Get a human-readable representation of the options.
Public Members
If true, a Field of NullType can be unified with a Field of another type.
The unified field will be of the other type and become nullable. Nullability will be promoted to the looser option (nullable if one is not nullable).
Allow a decimal to be unified with another decimal of the same width, adjusting scale and precision as appropriate.
May fail if the adjustment is not possible.
Allow a decimal to be promoted to a float.
The float type will not itself be promoted (e.g. Decimal128 + Float32 = Float32).
Allow an integer to be promoted to a decimal.
May fail if the decimal has insufficient precision to accommodate the integer (see promote_numeric_width).
Allow an integer of a given bit width to be promoted to a float; the result will be a float of an equal or greater bit width to both of the inputs.
Examples:
int8 + float32 = float32
int32 + float32 = float64
int32 + float64 = float64 Because an int32 cannot always be represented exactly in the 24 bits of a float32 mantissa.
Allow an unsigned integer of a given bit width to be promoted to a signed integer that fits into the signed type: uint + int16 = int16 When widening is needed, set promote_numeric_width to true: uint16 + int16 = int32.
Allow an integer, float, or decimal of a given bit width to be promoted to an equivalent type of a greater bit width.
Allow strings to be promoted to binary types.
Promotion of fixed size binary types to variable sized formats, and binary to large binary, and string to large string.
Second to millisecond, Time32 to Time64, Time32(SECOND) to Time32(MILLI), etc.
Allow promotion from a list to a large-list and from a fixed-size list to a variable sized list.
Unify dictionary index types and dictionary value types.
Allow merging ordered and non-ordered dictionaries.
The result will be ordered if and only if both inputs are ordered.
Public Static Functions

metadata â [in] new KeyValueMetadata
new Schema
Return copy of Schema without the KeyValueMetadata.
Indicate that the Schema has non-empty KevValueMetadata.
Indicate that the Schema has distinct field names.
A container for key-value pair type metadata. Not thread-safe.
Represents a path to a nested field using indices of child fields.
For example, given indices {5, 9, 3} the field would be retrieved with schema->field(5)->type()->field(9)->type()->field(3)
Attempting to retrieve a child field using a FieldPath which is not valid for a given schema will raise an error. Invalid FieldPaths include:
an index is out of range
the path is empty (note: a default constructed FieldPath will be empty)
FieldPaths provide a number of accessors for drilling down to potentially nested children. They are overloaded for convenience to support Schema (returns a field), DataType (returns a child field), Field (returns a child field of this fieldâs type) Array (returns a child array), RecordBatch (returns a column).
Public Functions
Retrieve the referenced child Field from a Schema, Field, or DataType.
Retrieve the referenced column from a RecordBatch or Table.
Retrieve the referenced child from a ChunkedArray.
Retrieve the referenced child/column from an Array, ArrayData, ChunkedArray, RecordBatch, or Table.
Unlike FieldPath::Get, these variants are not zero-copy and the retrieved childâs null bitmap is ANDed with its ancestorsâ
Public Functions
Descriptor of a (potentially nested) field within a schema.
Unlike FieldPath (which exclusively uses indices of child fields), FieldRef may reference a field by name. It is intended to replace parameters like int field_index and const std::string& field_name; it can be implicitly constructed from either a field index or a name.
Nested fields can be referenced as well. Given schema({field(âaâ, struct_({field(ânâ, null())})), field(âbâ, int32())})
the following all indicate the nested field named ânâ: FieldRef ref1(0, 0); FieldRef ref2(âaâ, 0); FieldRef ref3(âaâ, ânâ); FieldRef ref4(0, ânâ); ARROW_ASSIGN_OR_RAISE(FieldRef ref5, FieldRef::FromDotPath(â.a[0]â));
FieldPaths matching a FieldRef are retrieved using the member function FindAll. Multiple matches are possible because field names may be duplicated within a schema. For example: Schema a_is_ambiguous({field(âaâ, int32()), field(âaâ, float32())}); auto matches = FieldRef(âaâ).FindAll(a_is_ambiguous); assert(matches.size() == 2); assert(matches[0].Get(a_is_ambiguous)->Equals(a_is_ambiguous.field(0))); assert(matches[1].Get(a_is_ambiguous)->Equals(a_is_ambiguous.field(1)));
Convenience accessors are available which raise a helpful error if the field is not found or ambiguous, and for immediately calling FieldPath::Get to retrieve any matching children: auto maybe_match = FieldRef(âstructâ, âfield_i32â).FindOneOrNone(schema); auto maybe_column = FieldRef(âstructâ, âfield_i32â).GetOne(some_table);
Public Types

Public Static Functions
Parse a dot path into a FieldRef.
dot_path = â.â name | â[â digit+ â]â | dot_path+
Examples: â.alphaâ => FieldRef(âalphaâ) â[2]â => FieldRef(2) â.beta[3]â => FieldRef(âbetaâ, 3) â[5].gamma.delta[7]â => FieldRef(5, âgammaâ, âdeltaâ, 7) â.hello worldâ => FieldRef(âhello worldâ) Râ(.\[y\]\tho.\)â => FieldRef(Râ([y]\tho.\)â)
Note: When parsing a name, a â' preceding any other character will be dropped from the resulting name. Therefore if a name must contain the characters â.â, â', or â[â those must be escaped with a preceding â'.
