   I only see the description of map field names in the C Data Interface 
documentation: https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CDataInterface.html
   ```
   As specified in the Arrow columnar format, the map type has a single child 
type named entries, itself a 2-child struct type of (key, value).
   ```
   
   Does it only apply to the C Data Interface or it is included in the specs 
somewhere that I have missed? If field names are part of the specs, I think we 
can silently fix the field names upon map type creation and write a warn log.
