[jira] [Created] (ARROW-278) [Format] Struct type name consistency in implementations and metadata

Wes McKinney created ARROW-278:
----------------------------------

             Summary: [Format] Struct type name consistency in implementations and metadata
                 Key: ARROW-278
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-278
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Format
            Reporter: Wes McKinney


As discussed in https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/121 for ARROW-262, the {{Struct}} name is reserved in Flatbuffers, so we temporarily used the `{{Tuple}}` name. We should either use a tweaked name like {{Struct_}} that does not cause conflicts or choose a name for the Struct concept (e.g. {{Tuple}}) and use that consistently in format documents and implementation.

The least disruptive solution is to use the {{Struct_}} name in the Flatbuffers IDL.
