[GitHub] [arrow] benibus opened a new issue, #34830: [C++] Expand test coverage for FieldPath and FieldRef Get/Find methods

benibus opened a new issue, #34830:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/34830

   ### Describe the enhancement requested
   
   The `FieldRef::Find*` and `FieldPath::Get` functions provide many different overloads, however, many of these paths don't appear to be covered in `arrow-type-test`.
   
   This is more of a concern for `FieldPath::Get`, which extracts child fields from arrays, chunked arrays, record batches, tables, etc. The underlying implementations aren't exactly trivial - nor are they equivalent. In addition, there's an (unwritten?) expectation that these functions are zero-copy so perhaps this should be tested explicitly.
   
   In both cases, we could utilize test fixtures to do this in a uniform way.
   
   ### Component(s)
   
   C++
