----------------------------------------
Summary: [C++] properties of Map(Array|Type) are confusingly named
Key: ARROW-5745
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5745
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: C++
Reporter: Benjamin Kietzman
Assignee: Benjamin Kietzman
In the context of ListArrays, "values" indicates the elements in a slot of the
ListArray. Since MapArray isa ListArray, "values" indicates the same thing and
the elements are key-item pairs. This naming scheme is not idiomatic; these
*should* be called key-value pairs but that would require propagating the
renaming down to ListArray.
