Module dtype 

Convert between Vortex vortex_array::dtype::DType and Apache Arrow arrow_schema::DataType.

Apache Arrow’s type system includes physical information, which could lead to ambiguities as Vortex treats encodings as separate from logical types.

The conversions in this module are “naive”: every logical type is encoded in its simplest corresponding Arrow type, and Arrow extension types (other than the builtin temporal types and Parquet Variant) are not understood. The authoritative, plugin-aware conversion entry point is ArrowSession — prefer its to_arrow_schema / to_arrow_datatype / from_arrow_schema / from_arrow_field / from_arrow_datatype methods over the deprecated traits in this module.

For this reason, it’s recommended to do as much computation as possible within Vortex, and then materialize an Arrow ArrayRef at the very end of the processing chain.
