Description

Support Map type natively in Pinot.
Current ways to handle map:
1. stores Map in Avro as 2 MV columns.
2. Store Map in Json as a json string

Native Map dataType would be nice

Research direction

The issue describes native Map support in Pinot but names no files, tests, or entry points to inspect. First determine how Avro multi-value columns and JSON strings are currently represented, then define the native type's storage and query behavior before implementation; done means Map values are supported without either workaround.
