Description
When I use spark save parquet file, schema like this
```
optional group attref (LIST) {
repeated group list {
optional group element {
optional binary nid (UTF8);
optional binary nss (UTF8);
}
}
}
```
And then use parquet-pig-bundle to read this file, the read function can work, but when i need to access "nid" it have some problem
If I read other file save by pig-storer, and need nid list, pig command is:
```
B = foreach A generate value.addr.clientIp_bag.clientIp, value.guid , value.attref.nid;
```
but read spark save version I need use this:
```
B = foreach M generate value.addr.clientIp, value.guid , flatten(value.attref);
C = foreach B generate clientIp, guid, attref::element.nid;
```
and this command will flatten column
My question is pig loader have some problem when loading parquet file(save by spark)

Research direction
The report names parquet-pig-bundle and contrasts a Spark-written LIST schema with Pig-storer output; begin by reproducing both reads and tracing how the loader exposes attref and nid. Done means the Spark-produced file permits the intended nid access without unwanted flattening, with coverage for the reported schema and commands.
