Description
Currently documentation regarding how language specific types map to Beam schema types and vice versa are scattered in different locations.
For example,
- Following describes how Python types map to Beam schema types.
https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/2.32.0/apache_beam.typehints.schemas.html
- Beam Programming Guides gives some details regarding types and few examples but this seems to be incomplete.
https://beam.apache.org/documentation/programming-guide/#schemas
- Following has a table that describes how types from various languages relate to each other.
- There's limited documentation on using Python NamedTupes to properly create Beam Rows.
Ideally, we should extend the Beam Programming Guide (or create a new guide) to describe currently supported Schema types and how types from various SDK languages map to such types. We should also have enough examples to illustrate the usage.
