> The definition level, which determines which level of nesting is NULL, appears to always be n or n-1, where n is the maximum definition level. This means that only the innermost level of nesting can be NULL. This is only relevant for Parquet files. For example:
> {code:sql}
> CREATE TABLE text_tbl (a STRUCT<b:STRUCT<c:INT>>)
> STORED AS TEXTFILE;
> INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE text_tbl
> SELECT IF(false, named_struct("b", named_struct("c", 1)), NULL)
> FROM tbl LIMIT 1;
> CREATE TABLE parq_tbl
> STORED AS PARQUET
> AS SELECT * FROM text_tbl;
> SELECT * FROM text_tbl;
> => NULL # right
> SELECT * FROM parq_tbl;
> => {"b":{"c":null}} # wrong
> {code}
