Create an instance of pyarrow.Field:

>>> pa.field('key', pa.int32())
pyarrow.Field<key: int32>
>>> pa.field('key', pa.int32(), nullable=False)
pyarrow.Field<key: int32 not null>

>>> field = pa.field('key', pa.int32(),
...                  metadata={"key": "Something important"})
>>> field
pyarrow.Field<key: int32>
>>> field.metadata
{b'key': b'Something important'}

Use the field to create a struct type:

>>> pa.struct([field])
StructType(struct<key: int32>)

A str can also be passed for the type parameter:

>>> pa.field('key', 'int32')
pyarrow.Field<key: int32>
