Oops, I didn't actually reply to the use case part. > One of the intended use case is designing performant connectors for NoSQL databases, who typically provide results as a vector or iterator of row / document objects. For example, DynamoDB's C++ SDK returns `Aws::Map<Aws::String, Aws::DynamoDB::Model::AttributeValue>`. Cassandra has a similar class. More generally, there are a lot of existing systems that work off of rows that an adopter of Arrow may need to connect to. It would be useful to make this use case easier, but I'm still not sure if it needs to be a new API, vs a code sample or suggestions on how to approach it. `row_conversion.h` here is very minimal and could frankly just be copy-pasted into an application easily enough without having to make it a public Arrow API. That said I don't necessarily object to having it if it's going to be a common enough pattern and/or if that makes it easy to point to. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
