------------------------------------
Summary: Add field_name to pandas index metadata
Key: ARROW-1895
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1895
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.7.1
Reporter: Phillip Cloud
Assignee: Phillip Cloud
Fix For: 0.8.0
See the discussion here for details:
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/18201
In short we need a way to map index column names to field names in an arrow
Table.
Additionally, we're depending on the index columns being written at the end of
the table and fixing this would allow us to read metadata written by other
systems (e.g., fastparquet) that don't make this assumption.
