   I have JSON data where the columnar (line-delimited) part is in a `data` 
subkey:
   ```java
   
   {
     "metadata": {"name": "block1"},
     "data" : [
       {"a": 1, "b": 2.0, "c": "foo", "d": false},
       {"a": 4, "b": -5.5, "c": null, "d": true}
     ]
   }
   ```
    
   
    
   
   It would be good if the arrow JSON parser could allow specifying where the 
columnar data is stored.
   
   Since the `metadata` is also important to me it would be even better if the 
rest of the JSON could be returned as a Python dict with the only the specified 
keys parsed as arrow tables - e.g.
   
    
   ```java
   
   >>> block1 = json.read_json(fn, tables=['data'])
   >>> block1['data']
   pyarrow.Table
   a: int64
   b: double
   c: string
   d: bool
   >>> block1['metadata']
   {'name': 'block1'}
   >>> block1
   {
     "metadata": {"name": "block1"},
     "data" : pyarrow.Table
   }
   ```
