David Li commented on ARROW-17141:
----------------------------------
Also, in C++, we can't add a {{Table::field()}} because we can't depend on
ARROW_COMPUTE being enabled.
> [C++] Enable selecting nested fields in StructArray with field path
> -------------------------------------------------------------------

> Currently selecting a nested field in a StructArray requires multiple selects
> or flattening of schema. It would be more user friendly to provide a field
> path e.g.: field_in_top_struct.field_in_substruct.
