Review Comment:
   How about using `StructArray`, and then we can pass iin the `arrow_field` as 
the type:
   ```suggestion
                   entries = pa.StructArray.from_arrays(
                       [key_result, value_result], 
fields=[arrow_field.key_field, arrow_field.item_field]
                   )
                   # Keep the validity and offsets buffers of the original 
array, otherwise null maps become empty maps
                   return pa.Array.from_buffers(
                       arrow_field,
                       len(map_array),
                       map_array.buffers()[:2],
                       map_array.null_count,
                       map_array.offset,
                       [entries],
                   )
   ```
