Description

Avro supports some logical types that overlap with Arrow logical types (http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html#Logical+Types)

 

For the ones that overlap, we should use the appropriate Arrow Logical type array instead of the raw values.

 

it potentially makes sense to break this down further into sub-tasks for each logical type.
