----------------------------------

             Summary: [C++] Change struct to class for objects that meet the criteria in the Google style guide
                 Key: ARROW-782
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-782
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++
            Reporter: Wes McKinney
             Fix For: 0.3.0


See https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Structs_vs._Classes. I have suspected that the types in {{type.h}} should be classes, but this suggests it pretty strongly. It would be better to address this sooner rather than later. 

We should also make the member access functions instead of bare attributes, e.g. {{type->id()}} instead of {{type->type}}
