URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python/issues/1369

   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   
   Consider this snippet:
   
   ```python
   import datafusion as dfn
   import pyarrow as pa
   
   ctx = dfn.SessionContext()
   data = {"id": [1, 2, 3], "name": ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"], "age": [25, 
30, 35]}
   table = pa.Table.from_pydict(data)
   ctx.register_record_batches("users", [table.to_batches()])
   
   df = ctx.table("users")
   df.select("does_not_exist")
   ```
   
   I'm getting the following error:
   
   ```
   Exception: DataFusion error: SchemaError(FieldNotFound { field: Column { 
relation: None, name: "does_not_exist" }, valid_fields: [Column { relation: 
Some(Bare { table: "users" }), name: "id" }, Column { relation: Some(Bare { 
table: "users" }), name: "name" }, Column { relation: Some(Bare { table: 
"users" }), name: "age" }] }, Some(""))
   ```
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   
   While technically correct, the above error is not very user-friendly. 
Something like `field "does_not_exists" was not found, valid fields: "id", 
"name"` would be preferable.
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   
   n/a
   
   **Additional context**
   
   I had a cursory look at the code, and it seems that:
   - `DataFusionError` implements `Display`
   - `Debug` is [used instead] in the bindings
   
   I haven't tested, but maybe it's a matter of just changing the line above.
