Review comment:
       I am still working on javadocs here and other modified places to provide 
guidance on how types are and should be used, and how to deal with array types 
until they are fully propagated through the codebase. 
   
   With regards to `COMPLEX`, I'm starting to think that in the future we might 
want to modify `RowSignature` to potentially have the ability to store the 
complex type name, similar to what is available for aggregator factory, and 
what #10277 adds to the `ColumnCapabilities` of complex type columns it 
creates. We might actually want a lighter weight `ColumnSignature` type that is 
a subset of `ColumnCapabilities` that `RowSignature` can be composed of, rather 
than it's strict `ValueType` mapping it currently has, but I'm not certain if 
it is necessary yet.
