             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: New Feature

            Reporter: Wes McKinney


This may require memory allocation depending on the chunking of the table columns. 

While tables and struct type columns are semantically equivalent (and tables can be embedded in other tables using struct types), the memory layout of a table may not be strictly contiguous. For the purposes of putting data on the wire / in shared memory, it may be useful to offer a conversion function to "structify" an in-memory logical Arrow table. See ARROW-24
