 Review comment:
   Now that we need to recurse, I wonder if it makes sense to reuse the indexes 
available in `TypeUtils`: 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-iceberg/blob/0c9c63140e838875dc8cc52a57be2c8f24ad9975/api/src/main/java/com/netflix/iceberg/types/TypeUtil.java#L78-L84
 so that this code simplifies to:
   
   ```java
   Integer idx = indexByName.get(expressionFieldPath);
   Types.NestedField field = indexById.get(idx);
   ```
   That code doesn't check for non-struct parents; we'd have to perhaps create 
a custom Indexer. Also we would need to calculate the index lazily and perhaps 
cache it ( As in the `Schema`, see 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-iceberg/blob/master/api/src/main/java/com/netflix/iceberg/Schema.java#L59-L71
 )
