Phillip Cloud commented on ARROW-1754:
--------------------------------------
I think we should solve this by always making index column name follow the
pattern for unnamed columns, namely, {{__index_level_<N>__}}. Along with
changing {{index_columns}} to be a list of dictionaries mapping the raw arrow
column name to either {{None}} or the actual column name.
I'll update the pandas metadata spec accordingly.
