Rok Mihevc commented on ARROW-15032:
------------------------------------
Starting with to_date_struct (and limiting to to_date_struct, to_time_struct
and to_datetime_struct) sounds reasonable.
I assume output would be in timezone of the array.
[~willayd] would you like to make a PR?
> [C++] Compute Function to return Year / Month / Day

> Key: ARROW-15032

> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70194714/how-to-return-a-structarray-from-multiple-scalar-functions/70213443#70213443]
>
> Right now the temporal compute functions include year / month / day as
> separate functions. AFAICT in the implementation these all internally create
> a struct containing year/month/day using the date library and then return
> only one of the components.
>
> From a pure efficiency perspective it might be best to just return all as one
> StructArray and allow the user to unpack the values. From a user perspective,
> I also typically want year / month / day to be bundled together, so one
> function call to get all three in one pass would be ideal
>
> This might be extendable down to the timestamp structure as well
