1//! `RivetType` → `arrow::DataType` + Arrow metadata.
2//!
3//! See `rivet_roadmap.md` §Epic 14. §5 — Type Mapping Pipeline, §14 —
4//! ("Binary, UUID, JSON" — metadata example). This module is intentionally
5//! the *only* place where `RivetType` becomes an `arrow::DataType`. Source
6//! drivers must not poke at `arrow::DataType` directly any more — they
7//! produce a [`SourceColumn`], call into a vendor-specific
8//! `<vendor>_to_rivet()` (Chunks 2/3), then hand the resulting
9//! [`TypeMapping`] to [`build_arrow_field`] here.
10//!
11//! Why funnel everything through one function:
12//!
13//! - It guarantees the metadata key set ([`META_NATIVE_TYPE`],
14//!   [`META_LOGICAL_TYPE`], [`META_FIDELITY`]) is identical regardless of
15//!   the source database, so downstream consumers (e.g. BigQuery target
16//!   check) can rely on it.
17//! - It keeps Arrow as a *target language*, not a public API — Chunks 4–8
18//!   add policy and overrides without each one needing to know about
19//!   `Field::with_metadata`.
