Micah Kornfield commented on ARROW-60:
--------------------------------------
my comment should read, they "are not super user friendly". Or at least a
little hard for someone new the code (e.g. me) to understand. The struct
builder might be a little challenging to do in C++ from an API perspective, I
need to think about it a little bit more and think through the use-cases for it
(one use case it being able to convert a tuple from python to a struct:
examples for other types are here
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/python/src/pyarrow/adapters/builtin.cc).
It might pay to do the implementation for StructArray first and then come
back to the builder API once the StructArray implementation looks reasonable.
