https://github.com/apache/carbondata/pull/2774 [CARBONDATA-2979] select count fails when carbondata file is written through SDK and read through sparkfileformat for complex datatype map(struct->array->map)
**Problem**
Select query failed issue for map type when data is loaded using avro SDK and external table using carbon file format is used to query the data
**Analysis**
When data is loaded through Avro SDK which has a schema of type struct<array<map>>, fieldName was hard coded to "val" because of which during query the schema written in the file footer and schema inferred for the external table had a mismatch which lead to failure.
**Solution**
Instead of hard coding the field value as "val" use the given field name in the schema
