this resolution?
   
   Google BigQuery and Amazon Athena are supposed to support nested arrays, but 
instead of analysing the nested data directly, they use utdf to unfold the data 
for analysis. Like this
   
   ```sql
   select  c_column, d_column from table lateral view unnest(a.b.c, a.b.d) as 
c_column, d_column
   ```
   
   However, the spark sql syntax analysis phase is exceptional because no 
extractor for nested arrays could be found.
