Description
Imagine I have a current schema and want to create a projection schema from that. One option is the schema.Types.\*Builder but the more direct version would be to clone the schema itself without children.
`List l = new ArrayList<>();`
` for (String c : childmappings.keySet()) {`
` Mapping m = childmappings.get(c);`
` l.add(m.getProjectionSchema());`
` `}
` GroupType gt = new GroupType(schema.getRepetition(), schema.getName(), schema.getOriginalType(), l);`
The last line, the new GroupType(..) constructor is deprecated. We should use the version with the LogicalTypeAnnotation instead. Fine. But how do you get the LogicalTypeAnnotation from an existing schema?
I feel you should not deprecate these methods and if, provide an extra method to create a Type column from a type column (column alone, without children. Else the projection would have all child columns).
Do you agree?
