Downcast an Array to a DictionaryArray based on its DataType, accepts a number of subsequent patterns to match the data type

        array => match array.values().data_type() {
            DataType::Utf8 => {
                for v in array.downcast_dict::<StringArray>().unwrap() {
                    println!("{:?}", v);
                }
            }
            t => println!("Unsupported dictionary value type {}", t),
        },
