Currently, the api for instantiating MapType
<https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.map_.html> only
accepts DataType for the key_type and item_type arguments.  Is it possible
to create a MapType passing Field types instead?  Looking for something
similar to what is possible for ListType
<https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.list_.html#pyarrow.list_>
in
python or what seems to be possible from the cpp implementation of MapType
<https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/type.cc#L424>
 (untested).

Thanks for any insights,
Jason
