There is no reason they can't create the node and then modify the `field_id` after the fact. The purpose of `FromParquet` is to take the information in the `opaque_element` and put it into the `Node`. Why allow the `field_id` to be overridden in this way but not allow it for `name` or `repetition`? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
