Could we just overwrite `typeName` with simply throwing an exception? I think users are not supposed to call `typeName` against `StructField` but `simpleString` against the type instance. BTW, It apparently seems a bit odd that it extends `DataType` though.. I guess probably some tests are broken if we change the parent as it seems it is dependent on the parent assuming from https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/1598. So, I guess minimised fix would be just to overwrite.
