Have you ever try the DataFrame API like: sqlContext.read.json("/path/to/file.json"); the Spark SQL will auto infer the type/schema for you.
And lateral view will help on the flatten issues, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+LateralView, as well as the “a.b[0].c” format of expression.

If I'm able to define dinamicaly a case class from the JSON structure then even with spark I will be able to extract the data On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 4:01 PM, Sahil Sareen <sareen...@gmail.com<mailto:sareen...@gmail.com>> wrote: Isn't this just about defining a case class and using parse(json).extract[CaseClassName] using Jackson? -Sahil On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 11:08 PM, Andrés Ivaldi <iaiva...@gmail.com<mailto:iaiva...@gmail.com>> wrote: We dont have Domain Objects, its a service like a pipeline, data is read from source and they are saved it in relational Database I can read the structure from DataFrames, and do some transformations, I would prefer to do it with Spark to be consistent with the process On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 12:25 PM, Al Pivonka <alpivo...@gmail.com<mailto:alpivo...@gmail.com>> wrote: Are you using an Relational Database? If so why not use a nojs DB ? then pull from it to your relational? Or utilize a library that understands Json structure like Jackson to obtain the data from the Json structure the persist the Domain Objects ?

I need to Flatten the hierarchies where is possible in case of list flatten also, nested objects Won't be processed by now {"a":1,"b":[2,3],"c"="Field", "d":[4,5,6,7,8] } {"a":11,"b":[22,33],"c"="Field1", "d":[44,55,66,77,88] } {"a":111,"b":[222,333],"c"="Field2", "d":[44,55,666,777,888] } I would like something like this on my SQL table a b c d 1 2,3 Field 4,5,6,7,8 11 22,33 Field1 44,55,66,77,88 111 222,333 Field2 444,555,,666,777,888 Right now this is what i need I will later add more intelligence, like detection of list or nested objects and create relations in other tables.

If i try to do this directly the IlligalArgumentException is raised, I suppose this is beacouse JSON have a hierarchical structure, is that correct? If that is the problem, how can I flatten the JSON structure? The JSON structure to be processed would be unknow, so I need to do it programatically regards -- Ing.
