> See discussion in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1873
> When a user has a struct column, it may be more efficient to flatten the
> struct into multiple columns of the form {{struct_name.field_name}} for each
> field in the struct. Then when you call {{to_pandas}}, Python dictionaries do
> not have to be created, and the conversion will be much more efficient
