Malthe Borch updated ARROW-12099:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
In Apache Spark, 
[explode|https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/sql/index.html#explode] 
separates the elements of an array column (or expression) into multiple row.

Note that each explode works at the top-level only (not recursively).

This would also work with the existing 
[flatten|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.Table.html#pyarrow.Table.flatten]
 method to allow fully unnesting a 
[pyarrow.StructArray|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.StructArray.html#pyarrow-structarray].
