Description
Hello,
While reading back a Parquet file produced with Spark, it appears the schema produced by Parquet-Avro is not valid.
I consider the simple following piece of code:
```Java
ParquetReader reader =
AvroParquetReader.builder(new org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path(path.toUri())).build();
System.out.println(reader.read().getSchema());
```
I get a stack lile:
```Java
Exception in thread "main" +org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException+: Can't redefine: value
at org.apache.avro.Schema$Names.put(+Schema.java:1128+)
at org.apache.avro.Schema$NamedSchema.writeNameRef(+Schema.java:562+)

at org.apache.avro.Schema.toString(+Schema.java:324+)
at org.apache.avro.Schema.toString(+Schema.java:314+)
```
The issue seems the same as the one reported in:
It have been fixed in Spark-avro within:
In our case, the parquet schema looks like:
```Java
message spark_schema {
optional group calculatedobjectinfomap (MAP) {
repeated group key_value {
required binary key (UTF8);
optional group value {
optional int64 calcobjid;
optional int64 calcobjparentid;
optional binary portfolioname (UTF8);
optional binary portfolioscheme (UTF8);
optional binary calcobjtype (UTF8);
optional binary calcobjmnemonic (UTF8);
optional binary calcobinstrumentype (UTF8);
optional int64 calcobjectqty;
optional binary calcobjboid (UTF8);
optional binary analyticalfoldermnemonic (UTF8);
optional binary calculatedidentifier (UTF8);
optional binary calcobjlevel (UTF8);
optional binary calcobjboidscheme (UTF8);
}
}
}
optional group riskfactorinfomap (MAP) {
repeated group key_value {
required binary key (UTF8);
optional group value {
optional binary riskfactorname (UTF8);
optional binary riskfactortype (UTF8);
optional binary riskfactorrole (UTF8);
}
}
}
}
```
We indeed have 2 Map field with a value fields named 'value'. The name 'value' is defaulted in org.apache.spark.sql.types.MapType.
The fix seems not trivial given current parquet-avro code then I doubt I will be able to craft a valid PR without directions.
