    In `StructType.add`, if the given field name is a `basestring`, we will 
directly use it as key in `names` property.
    
    If we pass in a `StructField`, we take `StructField.name` as key in 
`names`. `But StructField` will encode field name as utf-8 if it is not a `str`.
    
    And `StructType.__getitem__` will find matched field by comparing each 
`StructField.name` with given search key. So it is unable to find the field 
back with the unicode field name.
    
            from pyspark.sql.types import StructType, StringType, StructField
    
            struct1 = StructType().add(u"a", "string", True)
            struct2 = StructType([StructField(u"a", StringType(), True)])
            self.assertTrue(struct1 == struct2)  # pass
            self.assertTrue(struct1[u"a"] == struct2[u"a"]) #pass
    
            struct1 = StructType().add(u"測試", "string", True)
            struct2 = StructType([StructField(u"測試", StringType(), True)])
            self.assertTrue(struct1 == struct2)  # fail
            self.assertTrue(struct1[u"測試"] == struct2[u"測試"]) # fail, 
you can't find the field with key u"測試"
