Review comment:
       fieldNames with 2 elements is not supported. It is for nested columns, 
e.g.
   ```
   val pointStruct = new StructType().add("x", DoubleType).add("y", DoubleType)
   val tableSchema = schema.add("point", pointStruct)
   TableChange.addColumn(Array("point", "z"), DoubleType))
   ```
   I don't think add nested column is supported by any of these commonly used 
databases (Oracle, DB2, MS SQL Server, Postgres, etc)
