If I create a table that has a map<string, string> field, will ORC files 
columnarize by the keys in the map?  Or will all the pairs in the map be 
grouped together?

My goal is to columnarize the storage of a variable number of fields (where the 
names and number of fields are unknown at schema creation).  It does not appear 
to be possible with RCFILE, and I'm curious if ORC just adds better type 
support, or if they also columnarize the fields within complex types.

Thanks,

Sean
