+The source column(s), selected by id(s), must be a primitive type and cannot 
be contained in a map or list, but may be nested in a struct. The ability to 
have multiple source columns was added in V3, whereas previously only a single 
column was allowed. For details on how to serialize a partition spec to JSON, 
see Appendix C.

in the spec.
