Patch looks good to me. Reloaded the patch to have another test run.

> In HIVE-7735, schema info was plumbed to ETypeConverter to disambiguate
> between hive Char, Varchar and String types, which are all represented as
> PrimitiveType "binary" and OriginalType "utf8" in parquet.
> However, this does not work for parquet nested types (that map to hive Array,
> Map, etc.) containing these values, because schema lookup for nested values
> was not implemented. It's also non-trivial to do that in the current parquet
> serde implementation. Instead of plumbing in the schema, we should convert
> these types to the same Text writeable and let the object inspectors handle
> the final conversion.
