### Description This PR fixes queries like ```sql SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT json_col) FROM foo ``` when run using MSQ. The frames delegate the `classOfObject` to `ComplexMetricSerde.getExtractor()` which isn't implemented for JSON columns and is probably not the right way to fetch the class of the complex type. A better alternative is to use the object type strategy to fetch the class, which is implemented for every complex serde. This PR modifies the field reader and the column readers to use the latter method. <hr> ##### Key changed/added classes in this PR * `MyFoo` * `OurBar` * `TheirBaz` <hr> <!-- Check the items by putting "x" in the brackets for the done things.
