Please describe how your code solves the related issue.
This change modifies the semantics for OBJECT type when the
_use_structured_type_semantics
flag is enabled. In this mode both semi-structured and structured OBJECT data will be represented by StructType and MapType only refers to structured MAP data.Without the flag semi-structured data will continue to refer to
MapType(StringType(), StringType())
while structured OBJECT will refer to StructType.
