jorisvandenbossche opened a new issue, #14971: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/14971
We have a `"struct_field"` kernel that was added to perform a FieldRef selection in compute / projection context (https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11641). Although it is called "struct_..", it can actually already handle a union type as well. And https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/14697 is expanding it further to also allow a FieldRef to select a list element. So if the current "struct_field" kernel is evolving in a kernel to perform any kind if Field Reference lookup, should we rename it to something more generic like "select_field"? (or add a separate kernel that does that, and keep "struct_field" specific to structs?) cc @lidavidm @westonpace -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
