Francois Saint-Jacques commented on ARROW-5745:
-----------------------------------------------
Just note that for PrimitiveArray, it doesn't even return the same type
(Buffer* instead of Array*).
> [C++] properties of Map(Array|Type) are confusingly named

> 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.
