Weston Pace commented on ARROW-11206:
-------------------------------------
I think MakeStruct is good and much clearer. This caused plenty of confusion
for me as well. I doubt many python uses are using pyarrow.compute.project
anyways since they probably specify it via the scanner or dataset options.

> The "project" compute Function is necessary for ARROW-11174. However it is
> not intended for direct use outside an Expression ([where the correspondence
> to projection is not immediately
> obvious|https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9131#issuecomment-757764173]) so
> it may be preferable to do one/more of:
> * rename the function to "wrap_struct" or similar so it does make sense
> outside Expressions
> * ensure the function is not exposed to python/R bindings except through
> Expressions
> * remove the function from the default registry
