Rationale for this change
Rename the Record interface to RecordBatch for clarity, since Record commonly means a single row but this type represents a batch of rows.
In addition, some method names such as NewRecord have been changed to NewRecordBatch, but the old methods still exist as wrappers around the newly named methods to maintain backward compatibility.

The following packages now use RecordBatch instead of Record:
arrow/ipc

In addition:
Are these changes tested?
