Description

Right now the Schema builder class is a bit verbose to use. The AddFields transform already contains a nicer way of building schemas, but it's coupled to that transform. We should refactor that code and make it available in the Schema builder. That would allow coder of the form

Schema schema = Schema.builder()

            .addField("a", INT32)

           .addField("a.b", STRING)

          .addField("a.c", INT32).build();

 

Which is much more concise for nested fields.
