> SchemaBuilder code will be moved to the exec package from test in DRILL-6901.
>  There are a couple of improvements that can be done in the existing code:
> *1. ColumnBuilder: OPTIONAL vs REQUIRED*
>  {{ColumnBuilder}} constructor sets mode as REQUIRED by default. We might consider setting OPTIONAL as default.
>  [https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/exec/java-exec/src/test/java/org/apache/drill/test/rowSet/schema/ColumnBuilder.java#L40]
> *2. ColumnBuilder: setScale method*
>  {{setScale}} method is a bit awkward, it requires precision as second parameter. More natural to go with precision and then scale.
>  Suggestion is to have {{setPrecisionAndScale}} method instead which will accept precision and scale as first and second parameters. 
>  [https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/exec/java-exec/src/test/java/org/apache/drill/test/rowSet/schema/ColumnBuilder.java#L57]
> *3. SchemaContainer: addColumn method*
>  {{addColumn}} method has parameter {{AbstractColumnMetadata}}, since we have interface {{ColumnMetadata}}, it's better to operate on the interface level rather than on the abstract class.
>  [https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/exec/java-exec/src/test/java/org/apache/drill/test/rowSet/schema/SchemaContainer.java#L28]
> *4. MapBuilder / RepeatedListBuilder / UnionBuilder: buildCol method*
>  {{buildCol}} method is private in these classes. These classes create columns and add them to the schema. There might be use cases when dev needs only column and will add it to the schema when needed. Suggestion is to make {{buildCol}} method public. Also all these classes require {{SchemaContainer}} as parent, though when we only need them to build the column, second constructor can be added without {{SchemaContainer}} parameter.
