      Work Description: kanterov commented on issue #6861: [BEAM-5884] support 
null values in Array and Map.
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/6861#issuecomment-436003580
 
 
   >  We should do this regardless, but I'm curious what the SQL standard and 
other engines support.
   @kennknowles Out of my head, limitations in Spark SQL, it doesn't support 
types like:
   `Map<Optional<?>, ?>`
   `Record(field: Optional<Record(field: Optional<?>)>)`
   
   As I remember, the reason for records is they are stored in the flattened 
form, that requires expressing `Optional<Optional<?>>` that doesn't work 
because a boolean flag is used.
