             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.
