Examples
>>> df = pd.DataFrame( ... {'A': [1, 2, 3], ... 'B': ['a', 'b', 'c'], ... 'C': pd.date_range('2016-01-01', freq='d', periods=3), ... }, index=pd.Index(range(3), name='idx')) >>> build_table_schema(df) {'fields': [{'name': 'idx', 'type': 'integer'}, {'name': 'A', 'type': 'integer'}, {'name': 'B', 'type': 'string'}, {'name': 'C', 'type': 'datetime'}], 'primaryKey': ['idx'], 'pandas_version': '0.20.0'}
