My mental model is the row lineage fields are a separate schema themselves that we combine with normal schemas when we need to. Alternatively we could have an API that joins vararg fields? (`join(Types.NestedField... fields)`) that would avoid clients creating the schema -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
