             Summary: [Python] Add function to "explode" structs within tables
                 Key: ARROW-1886
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1886
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Python
            Reporter: Wes McKinney


See discussion in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1873

When a user has a struct column, it may be more efficient to flatten the struct 
into multiple columns of the form {{struct_name.field_name}} for each field in 
the struct. Then when you call {{to_pandas}}, Python dictionaries do not have 
to be created, and the conversion will be much more efficient
