What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This fixes support for using a RowEncoder inside a ProductEncoder.
Why are the changes needed?
The current does a dataType check on a path when contructing the RowEncoder deserializer. But this is not safe and if the RowEncoder is used inside a ProductEncoder, it will throw because the path Expression is unresolved.
The check was introduced in #49785
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes, it makes it possible to use RowEncoder in more cases.
How was this patch tested?
Existing and new unit tests.
Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
No
