"user.profile.name"})</li>
+ * <li><b>ARRAY types:</b> Use {@code ".list.element"} to access array
elements
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Example: {@code "items.list.element"} accesses element schema
of array</li>
+ * <li>Example: {@code "items.list.element.id"} accesses nested
field within array elements</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * </li>
+ * <li><b>MAP types:</b> Use {@code ".key_value.key"} or {@code
".key_value.value"} to access map components
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Example: {@code "metadata.key_value.key"} accesses map keys
(always STRING)</li>
+ * <li>Example: {@code "metadata.key_value.value"} accesses map
value schema</li>
+ * <li>Example: {@code "nested_map.key_value.value.field"} accesses
nested field within map values</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * </li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Note: Spark Parquet files may use {@code ".array"} format instead of
{@code ".list.element"}.
+ * This translation is handled at the Parquet reading level in ParquetUtils,
not here.</p>
