Although in this particular case, it's a little janky, but you could have a
helper which takes the thrift class i.e. get_name(some_field, 'SomeClass')
and could use that SomeClass to let you refer by name.

Currently, the answer to this is no. In Javaland in 0.11.0 you can get the
schema in an EvalFunc, and it would not be hard to make this available from
a Jython UDF, though we'd need a patch.
