[Java/Python] Add support for dictionary type to pyarrow.Field.from_jvm #15719

Open asfimport opened 6 years ago

asfimport commented 6 years ago

The DictionaryType is a bit more complex as it also references the dictionary values itself. This also needs to be integrated into pyarrow.Field.from_jvm but the work to make DictionaryType working maybe also depends on that pyarrow.Array.from_jvm first supports non-primitive arrays.

Wes McKinney / @wesm: This should be less complex now after the recent DictionaryType changes
