[GitHub] [arrow] kevingurney opened a new issue, #37473: [MATLAB] Add support for indexing `RecordBatch` columns by `Field` name

[via GitHub]

kevingurney opened a new issue, #37473:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/37473

   ### Describe the enhancement requested
   
   Currently, `arrow.tabular.Schema` supports indexing by `Field` name. 
However, `arrow.tabular.RecordBatch` does not.
   
   The ability to index columns in a `RecordBatch` by `Field` name would be a 
helpful usability improvement.
   
   **Example**
   ```matlab
   >> t = array2table(rand(3))
   
   t =
   
     3×3 table
   
        Var1       Var2       Var3  
       _______    _______    _______
   
       0.96489    0.95717    0.14189
       0.15761    0.48538    0.42176
       0.97059    0.80028    0.91574
   
   >> rb = arrow.recordBatch(t)
   
   rb = 
   
   Var1:   [
       0.9648885351992765,
       0.15761308167754828,
       0.9705927817606157
     ]
   Var2:   [
       0.9571669482429456,
       0.4853756487228412,
       0.8002804688888001
     ]
   Var3:   [
       0.14188633862721534,
       0.421761282626275,
       0.9157355251890671
     ]
    
   >> rb.column("Var1")
   
   ans = 
   
   [
     0.9571669482429456,
     0.4853756487228412,
     0.8002804688888001
   ]
   ```
