Kouhei Sutou created ARROW-7977: ----------------------------------- Summary: [C++] Rename fs::FileStats to fs::FileStat Key: ARROW-7977 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7977 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++ Reporter: Kouhei Sutou Assignee: Kouhei Sutou
Because widely used stat(2) is an abbreviation of "status" not "statistics". It's better that we follow the widely used existing convention. Linux: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/stat.2.html {quote} get file status {quote} FreeBSD: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=stat&sektion=2 {quote} get file status {quote} If we use FileStat instead of FileStats, we can use singular form "stat" and plural form "stats" as variable names instead of "stats" and "stats_vector". It will help writing readable code. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
