> LazySimpleDeserializeRead parses an empty array wrong. For example, a line ',' in a text file table with a delimiter ',' and schema 'array<int>, array<array<string>>' shows \[null\], \[\[""\]\], instead of \[\], \[\] with MapReduce engine and vectorized execution enabled. LazySimpleDeserializeRead has following code; 
> {code:java}
> switch (complexField.complexCategory) {
> case LIST:
>   {
>     // Allow for empty string, etc.
>     final boolean isNext = (fieldPosition <= complexFieldEnd);
> {code}
> Empty string value read should be only applied to string families, not to other data types.
