---------------------------------------------
Summary: [C++] Adding tabular pretty printing of Table /
RecordBatch
Key: ARROW-14799
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14799
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++
Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche
It would be nice to show a "preview" (eg xx number of first and last rows) of a
Table or RecordBatch in a traditional tabular form (like pandas DataFrames, or
R data.frame / tibbles have, or in a format that resembles markdown tables).
This could also be added in the bindings, but we could also do it on the C++
level to benefit multiple bindings at once.
Based on a quick search, there is https://github.com/p-ranav/tabulate which
could be vendored (it has a single-include version).
I suppose that nested data types could represent a challenge on how to include
those in a tabular format, though.
