             Summary: [C++] Rename fs::FileStats to fs::FileStat
                 Key: ARROW-7977
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7977
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++
            Reporter: Kouhei Sutou
            Assignee: Kouhei Sutou


Because widely used stat(2) is an abbreviation of "status" not
"statistics". It's better that we follow the widely used existing
convention.

Linux: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/stat.2.html

{quote}
get file status
{quote}

FreeBSD: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=stat&sektion=2

{quote}
get	file status
{quote}

If we use FileStat instead of FileStats, we can use singular form
"stat" and plural form "stats" as variable names instead of "stats"
and "stats_vector". It will help writing readable code.
