Getting an error message when querying an external parquet table with a nested structure: HIVE_CANNOT_OPEN_SPLIT: Error opening Hive split ... required group stats {{parquet schema}} is not primitive

The parquet has a nested structure where a map contains a struct which is itself nested. i'm not sure if athen'as serDe can handle it, but i would like to find a way to read it with athena. The table creation worked fine, and the structure i described matches the parquet.
