Benjamin Kietzman created ARROW-5745: ----------------------------------------
Summary: [C++] properties of Map(Array|Type) are confusingly named Key: ARROW-5745 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5745 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: New Feature Components: C++ Reporter: Benjamin Kietzman Assignee: Benjamin Kietzman In the context of ListArrays, "values" indicates the elements in a slot of the ListArray. Since MapArray isa ListArray, "values" indicates the same thing and the elements are key-item pairs. This naming scheme is not idiomatic; these *should* be called key-value pairs but that would require propagating the renaming down to ListArray. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
