Pradeep Garigipati reassigned ARROW-11424:
------------------------------------------
Assignee: Pradeep Garigipati
> [C++] Add more StructType and StructArray methods
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-11424
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11424
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Neal Richardson
> Assignee: Pradeep Garigipati
> Priority: Major
> Labels: good-first-issue
> Fix For: 7.0.0
>
>
> A StructType is basically a Schema (vector of Fields), right? Likewise, a
> StructArray is pretty much the same as a RecordBatch, right? Schema and
> RecordBatch have many more methods than StructType/StructArray, but we should
> be able to do the same kinds of things to structs.
> Also, an observation while working on ARROW-11423: the method to extract an
> Array column from a StructArray is called {{field()} and
> {{GetFieldByName()}}, which is confusing since Schema/StructType is what
> contains Field objects, and {{StructArray::field()}} returns Array, not Field.
