Neal Richardson created ARROW-11424:
---------------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Add more StructType and StructArray methods
Key: ARROW-11424
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11424
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: C++
Reporter: Neal Richardson
Fix For: 4.0.0
A StructType is basically a Schema (vector of Fields), right? Likewise, a
StructArray is pretty much the same as a RecordBatch, right? Schema and
RecordBatch have many more methods than StructType/StructArray, but we should
be able to do the same kinds of things to structs.
Also, an observation while working on ARROW-11423: the method to extract an
Array column from a StructArray is called {{field()} and {{GetFieldByName()}},
which is confusing since Schema/StructType is what contains Field objects, and
{{StructArray::field()}} returns Array, not Field.
