> As far I understand, there is already some support for nested array/dict/structs in arrow. However, spark Map and List types are structured one level deeper (I believe to allow for both NULL and empty entries). Surprisingly, fastparquet can load these. I do not know the plan for arbitrary nested object support, but it should be made clear.
