Vibhatha Lakmal Abeykoon commented on ARROW-14679:
--------------------------------------------------
By the way, I am going to add an join example explicity in addition to the join
related example in the streaming execution engine. The reason is most people
are looking for joins. Is it okay to do that as well?

> If there is a name collision, we need to do something

> A few notes:
> * arrow doesn't seem to actually be able to apply the prefixes (I'm getting
> errors when trying), I couldn't tell if there were tests of this — I couldn't
> find any, so I'm not sure if I'm calling this wrong or if it's not working at
> all.
> * arrow always appends the affixes (where as dplyr only adds them if there is
> a name collision)
> * arrow only supports prefixes (can we configure this, or ask the clients to
> provide new names?) in the tests I wrote I've worked around this, but it
> would be nice to be able to match dplyr/allow things other than prefix
