"I'm not sure if this is the right place to respond, but just a couple of
comments:
1) Our latest patch for Jira 1914
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1914) supports storing Maps with
complex schemas. I think a lot of the tests will also be useful for this patch.
2) I don't think we should serialize tuples as json lists. While it preserves
order (which is nice) I suspect most users would rather have the direct mapping
of pig alias to json key and to have their tuples as json objects with
key/value pairs instead of as a list which requires referencing fields by
position."
> Create toJSON function for all complex types: tuples, bags and maps
