+   * In order to persist complex field metadata, we need to recursively add 
child field specs
+   * So, each complex field spec will have a property for its child field 
names and each child field will have its
+   * own properties of the detailed field spec.
+   * E.g. a COMPLEX type `intMap` of Map<String, Integer> has 2 child fields:
+   *   - key in STRING type and value in INT type.
+   *   Then we will have the following properties to define a COMPLEX field:
+   *     column.intMap.childFieldNames = [key, value]
+   *     column.intMap$$key.columnType = DIMENSION
+   *     column.intMap$$key.dataType = STRING
+   *     column.intMap$$key.isSingleValued = true
+   *     column.intMap$$value.columnType = DIMENSION
+   *     column.intMap$$value.dataType = INT
+   *     column.intMap$$value.isSingleValued = true

Review Comment:
   Yes for the fieldSpec we could configure a String DimensionSpec called 
`key`, then during the persistent, the column name is `stringMap$$key`.
