> Currently the PyArrow infers the Pandas dictionary field as StructType instead of MapType, so Spark can't handle the schema properly:
> {code:java}
> >>> pdf = pd.DataFrame({"str_col": ['second'], "dict_col": [{'first': 0.7, 'second': 0.3}]})
> >>> pa.Schema.from_pandas(pdf)
> str_col: string
> dict_col: struct<first: double, second: double>
>   child 0, first: double
>   child 1, second: double
> {code}
> We cannot handle this case since we use PyArrow for schema creation.
