Brian Hulette commented on ARROW-11347:
---------------------------------------
Can you clarify where is it that we use Maps that you think should change? Is
it when accessing an element of a Map-typed array?
I'd be open to changing it but we'd need to consider that this would be a
breaking API change. I suppose this is technically OK since all releases are
major but it may be inconvenient for users.

> A quick experiment

> show that object accesses are a lot faster than map accesses. Would it make
> sense to switch to objects in the row API to improve performance?
