   So the basic idea is to avoid the obligation of values in the map. According 
to
   ```
   The value field encodes the map's value type and repetition. This field can 
be required, optional, or omitted.
   ```
   
   Did I get the idea right?
   
   So it should be possible to parse something like this without any errors 
   
   ```
   message table {
               required group map (MAP) {
                   repeated group key_value {
                       REQUIRED BYTE_ARRAY key;
                   }
               }
           }
   ```
