Description

When using column names which contain escaped spaces in them like `user id`, the type info parser is unable to parse out the structures which have a format similar to

struct<user id:int,user group: int>

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error: : expected at the position 12 of '' but 'struct<user id:int,user group: int>' is found.
