### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful
details as possible.
Tested on Arrow 15.0.2
I would like to create a list vector of maps. This works fine for most data
types.
However when I'm creating a list of Map<Decimal, Decimal> it fails with
following error:
```
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot get simple type for type MAP

@Test
public void testListOfMap() {
try (ListVector from = ListVector.empty("v", new RootAllocator())) {
UnionListWriter listWriter = from.getWriter();
listWriter.allocate();
// write null, [null,{"f1":1,"f2":2},null,
// {"f1":1,"f2":2},null] alternatively
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
listWriter.setPosition(i);
if (i % 2 == 0) {
listWriter.writeNull();
continue;
}
listWriter.startList();
listWriter.map().startMap();
listWriter.map().writeNull();
listWriter.map().startEntry();
listWriter.map().key();
listWriter.map().decimal().writeDecimal(BigDecimal.valueOf(2.0));
listWriter.map().value();
listWriter.map().decimal().writeDecimal(BigDecimal.valueOf(3.0));
listWriter.endEntry();
listWriter.map().endMap();
listWriter.endList();
}
from.setValueCount(10);
System.out.println(from);
}
}
```
Struct writing works fine, however the Decimal instantation requires scale
and precision to be passed in.
Following test works fine.
```
@Test
public void testListOfStruct() {
try (ListVector from = ListVector.empty("v", new RootAllocator())) {
UnionListWriter listWriter = from.getWriter();
listWriter.allocate();
// write null, [null,{"f1":1,"f2":2},null,
// {"f1":1,"f2":2},null] alternatively
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
listWriter.setPosition(i);
if (i % 2 == 0) {
listWriter.writeNull();
continue;
}
listWriter.startList();
listWriter.struct().writeNull();
listWriter.struct().start();
listWriter.struct().decimal("f1", 1,
2).writeDecimal(BigDecimal.valueOf(2.0));
listWriter.struct().end();
listWriter.struct().writeNull();
listWriter.struct().start();
listWriter.struct().decimal("f1", 1,
2).writeDecimal(BigDecimal.valueOf(3.0));
listWriter.struct().end();
listWriter.struct().writeNull();
listWriter.endList();
}
from.setValueCount(10);
System.out.println(from);
}
}
```
Is there any way to work around this. I have tried to specify the FieldType
when creating the ListVector but this fieldType has no child types only the
parent type (LIST).
