Christian Zorneck commented on SPARK-18134:
-------------------------------------------

Spark was compatible in this case until Spark 1.4. How did this work until that 
version?
Maps always can be compared, at least if they are serialized, to achieve this.
I think, the user should decide if he uses maps, with the drawback of 
performance, because he needs this feature. The user could be warned of the 
performance issue with a warning, but the feature is important to have.

> Since version 1.5 and issue SPARK-9415, MapTypes can no longer be used in 
> GROUP BY and join clauses. This makes it incompatible to HiveQL. So, a Hive 
> feature was removed from Spark. This makes Spark incompatible to various 
> HiveQL statements.
