# Which issue does this PR close? - Closes #8030. # Rationale for this change As discussed in the linked issue we want to remove the `experimental` warning from the `extension` module. When adding extension type information via the `Field` methods, `ExtensionType::supports_datatype` is used to validate the `Field` datatype is compatible with the given extension type. When users change the `Field` datatype, it's not clear if this is still true, so this PR proposes to remove the extension type information when changing datatype information. # What changes are included in this PR? Adds two `Field` methods: - `Field::clear_extension_type` - `Field::without_extension_type` These methods are used when changing data types via `Field::set_data_type` and `Field::with_data_type`. # Are these changes tested? Yes, CI. # Are there any user-facing changes? Yes, `Field::set_data_type` and `Field::with_data_type` now clear extension type information from the `Field` metadata. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
