Review comment:
Let us say the object was a map (as per your example). Presumably, the
entity that ingests data into Pinot has serialized a map into bytes using some
serde. That serde method better be the same that Pinot uses to deserialize
while fielding a query, or while returning result of a query (may have to
deserialize, and serialize back to deserialize again). Did I understand it
right?
