Affects Version/s: 3.3.0

1. create a hive table
{code:java}
CREATE TABLE tbl
STORED AS PARQUET
AS SELECT
 '1st' AS key,
 '2nd' AS value,
 map('name', 'Bob') as name;
{code}
2. alter complex column's comment
{code:java}
ALTER TABLE tbl CHANGE COLUMN name name MAP<STRING, STRING> COMMENT 'temp comment';
{code}
it fails with the following error:
{code:java}

3. If we change the simple column's comment, like column `key`, it succeeds.
{code:java}
ALTER TABLE tbl CHANGE COLUMN key key STRING COMMENT 'temp comment';
