**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** - As shown in https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/8945 You can create a [`VariantPath`](https://docs.rs/parquet/latest/parquet/variant/struct.VariantPath.html) from a string like this: ```rust let path = VariantPath::from("city.store"); ``` However, that format does not currently support selecting array elements So for example, there is no way to parse the equivalent of this (select the title from the 4th book): `city.store.books[3].title` **Describe the solution you'd like** I would like to be able to do something like ```rust VariantPath::from("city.store.books[3].title"); ``` And get the equivalent of ```rust VariantPath::from("city") .join("store") .join("books") .join(3) .join("title") ``` **Describe alternatives you've considered** <!-- A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. --> **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
