David Li commented on ARROW-15089:
----------------------------------
[~westonpace] I think a "map" here is MapType which doesn't have a consistent
ordering right? For structs, we would use struct_field which does indeed take
(an array of) indices.
> [C++] Add compute kernel to get MapArray value for given key
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-15089
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15089
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Affects Versions: 6.0.1
> Reporter: Will Jones
> Assignee: Dhruv Vats
> Priority: Major
> Labels: C++, Kernels, beginner, compute, good-second-issue,
> kernel
>
> Given a "map", an obvious operation is to get an item corresponding to a key.
> The idea here is to create a kernel that does this for each map in the array.
> IIRC MapArray isn't guaranteed to have unique keys. So one version would
> return an array of ItemType by returning the first of last item for a given
> key. Yet another version could return a ListType containing all matching
> items.
