             Summary: [C++][Docs] Tables vs Record Batches
                 Key: ARROW-13454
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13454
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Rares Vernica


It is not clear what the difference is between Tables and Record Batches is as 
described on [https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/tables.html#tables]

_A 
[{{arrow::Table}}|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/api/table.html#_CPPv4N5arrow5TableE]
 is a two-dimensional dataset with chunked arrays for columns_

_A 
[{{arrow::RecordBatch}}|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/api/table.html#_CPPv4N5arrow11RecordBatchE]
 is a two-dimensional dataset of a number of contiguous arrays_

Or maybe the distinction between _chunked arrays_ and _contiguous arrays_ can 
be clarified.
