**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** There are a few issues that make it annoying to work with Schema and Field metadata: 1. there is no way to create and set metadata on fields or schema in one statement; Instead a `mut Field` or `mut Schema` has to be created 2. There is no constructor for create a field with metadata (and thus it is inconsistent with Schema which has `new_with_schema`) 3. The accessors are different. Schema provides a `&HashMap` and Field provides a `Option<&BtreeMap>` **Describe the solution you'd like** My proposal will be two parts: 1. Some simpler API functions (like `with_metatada()`) 2. A more invasive API change to make the metadata handling more uniform **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.
