Review Comment:
   I think we can keep this test, and I think changing the validation logic 
might be a better option than changing the assert message. 
   I feel we shouldn't expose the `element` or  `key-value` field in 
Preconditions error message because these fields are invisible to the users and 
may confuse them. I think a validation from top to bottom can give a more 
correct error message. 
   ```
   Deque<Integer> deque = Lists.newLinkedList();
   while (parentId != null) {
     deque.push(parentId);
     parentId = idToParent.get(parentId);
   }
   
   while (!deque.isEmpty()) {
     Types.NestedField parent = idToField.get(deque.pop());
     Preconditions.checkArgument(parent.type().isStructType(),
         "Cannot add field %s as an identifier field: must not be nested in 
%s", field.name(), parent);
     Preconditions.checkArgument(parent.isRequired(),
         "Cannot add field %s as an identifier field: must not be nested in an 
optional field %s",
         field.name(), parent);
   }
   ```
   WDYT?
