Description
While there are several _versions_ that are Javascript-compatible, the "pure Typescript" version fails to type check.
- It is possible to use specific versions, e.g. `@apache-arrow/es2015-umd`.
- It is also possible to use the "umbrella" import `apache-arrow`.
- However, the `@apache-arrow/ts` import fails to type check with `tsc`.
A sample of errors from one file:
```
../../node_modules/@apache-arrow/ts/schema.ts:46:49 - error TS2345: Argument of type '(Field | undefined)[]' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Field[]'.
Type 'Field | undefined' is not assignable to type 'Field'.
Type 'undefined' is not assignable to type 'Field'.
46 return new Schema<{ [key: string]: K }>(columnIndices.map((i) => this.fields[i]).filter(Boolean), this.metadata);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../node_modules/@apache-arrow/ts/schema.ts:64:58 - error TS2532: Object is possibly 'undefined'.
64 metadata: mergeMaps(mergeMaps(new Map(), curFields[i].metadata), f2.metadata)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../node_modules/@apache-arrow/ts/schema.ts:129:22 - error TS2532: Object is possibly 'undefined'.
129 const type = field.type;
~~~~~
```
(Is there any plan to have the typescript code eventually type-check with `tsc` ?)
