    ```
    val x: Dataset[String, Option[(String, String)]] = ...
    x.groupByKey(_._1).mapValues(_._2).agg(someAgg)
    ```
    Does it work before?
    
    Please see the discussion in the JIRA: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18251
    Ideally we have a map between type T and catalyst schema, and `Option[T]` 
maps to the same catalyst schema with `T`, with additional null handling. We 
shouldn't change this mapping, which means we can't use a single field struct 
type to represent `Option[T]`.
    
    It's still possible to support `Option[T]` completely(without breaking 
backward compatibility), but that may need a lof of hacky code and special 
handling, I don't think it worth, as we can easy work around it, by `Tuple1`.
