### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful
details as possible.
I'd like to store list of maps. Not sure if I am doing it wrong or there is
a bug in the implementation.
Here is my example:
```java
try (ListVector listVector = ListVector.empty("sourceVector", allocator)) {
UnionListWriter listWriter = listVector.getWriter();
listWriter.allocate();
/*
* [{"one" -> 1, "two" -> 2}, {"three" -> 3}, null, {"four" -> null,
"five" -> 5}]
*/
listWriter.setPosition(0);
listWriter.startList();
listWriter.map().startMap(); // <-- exception is thrown from here
listWriter.map().startEntry();
listWriter.map().key().varChar().writeVarChar("one");
listWriter.map().key().integer().writeInt(1);
listWriter.map().endEntry();
listWriter.map().startEntry();
listWriter.map().key().varChar().writeVarChar("two");
listWriter.map().key().integer().writeInt(2);
listWriter.map().endEntry();
listWriter.map().endMap();
listWriter.map().startMap();
listWriter.map().startEntry();
listWriter.map().key().varChar().writeVarChar("three");
listWriter.map().key().integer().writeInt(3);
listWriter.map().endEntry();
listWriter.map().endMap();
listWriter.writeNull();
listWriter.map().startMap();
listWriter.map().startEntry();
listWriter.map().key().varChar().writeVarChar("four");
listWriter.map().key().integer().writeNull();
listWriter.map().endEntry();
listWriter.map().startEntry();
listWriter.map().key().varChar().writeVarChar("five");
listWriter.map().key().integer().writeInt(5);
listWriter.map().endEntry();
listWriter.map().endMap();
listWriter.endList();
```
When I execute this I'm getting the following exception:
```
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot get simple type for type MAP
