The `field-id` property was added for each partition field in v2. In v1, the reference implementation assigned field ids sequentially in each spec starting at 1,000. See Partition Evolution for more details.

In v3 metadata, writers must use only `source-ids` because v3 requires reader support for multi-arg transforms.
