Description

@Igosuki

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.
In structured formats, it's possible to have nested arrays and maps. In Spark for instance it's possible to do : select my_list[0][0]

Describe the solution you'd like
Access deeply nested values

Describe alternatives you've considered
I saw there is a new Map DataType in arrow-rs 6.0, but I made this before so I'm not sure where to go from there.

Additional context
I have a nested array in an Avro record I use, which is a list of tuples, a tuple is a price and a quantity of something. Sometimes I only want to get the first value of that array because I don't care about the rest.
