Description
Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
A source of confusion for new users is why we have Schema/SchemaRef as well as DFSchema/DFSchemaRef and how to convert between the two.
Here is a quick answer I gave to someone recently. Would be good to add a section about the type system to the user guide, perhaps before introducing TableProvider.
DFSchema is similar to Schema, but adds optional qualifiers (table names). You can convert from Schema by calling DFSchema::try_from_qualified_schema(Some("table_name"), arrow_schema). There is also DFField::from_qualified.
