Crate pyro_spec 

Pyro-native type system and schema representation.

This crate provides a lightweight schema representation optimized for PyroValue. Unlike Arrow’s DataType (which has ~40 variants for timestamps, decimals, run-end-encoded, etc.), PyroType mirrors exactly the variants that PyroValue can represent, making match arms exhaustive and tiny.

Core types:

• PyroType — the main type enum, mirroring PyroValue discriminants 1:1
• PyroField — a named, nullable column descriptor (equivalent to Arrow Field)
• PyroSchema — an ordered collection of PyroFields (equivalent to Arrow Schema)
• coerce_pyro_types — type coercion to find common supertypes

Conversion to/from arrow::datatypes::DataType lives in the arrow module (behind the arrow feature flag).

Enums

PrimitiveDataType
