Review Comment:
   I believe the issue also raise, if possible, to also actually include the 
`field` itself so in case they wanted to catch the exception, they could handle 
it more gracefully. Perhaps @vtk9 can provide more on the use case. :)
   
   For reference:
   _Even better, instead of raising a TypeError can a more specific error be 
returned (such as UnsupportedPyArrowType) which includes the pyarrow.Field 
(column_name, column_type) as an attribute so that this error can be caught and 
different exception re-raised based on information contained inside 
UnsupportedPyArrowType_
