Description
This PR officially adds support for Parquet and Avro for Druid nested columns, including using the 'JSON' transformation functions at ingestion time. Along the way, fixes a couple of issues with using these same functions during ingest time, particularly when the top level object is a List/Array instead of an object. This particular code area was a bit obsolete, expecting only the primitive Druid ARRAY types to be handled, but that is no longer true after the introduction of nested arrays and complex expression types (e.g. arrays of complex types). I've expanded this code area to fall back on using
ExprEval.bestEffortOfto determine the type of the array. This isn't actually specific to Parquet or Avro, these errors could occur with JSON and potentially any other nested list input values intended to be used in expressions.Release note
Druid nested columns now support Parquet and Avro input formats, either to ingest directly into nested columns, or using the 'JSON' expressions as transforms, such as
JSON_VALUEandJSON_QUERY.This PR has:
