Drill 3878
Please review my fix for JIRA DRILL-3878 provide XML support for Apache
Drill.
The fix utilizes the existing support for JSON by converting XML to JSON
using a simple SAX parser built for the purpose.
The parser tries to produce acceptable JSON documents that are then fed
into the JSONRecordReader for futher processing.
To add xml support into Apache Drill, please include the built package to
3rdparty folder of the built Apache Drill environment, and start.
Add:
"xml": {
"type": "xml",
"extensions": [
"xml"
],
"keepPrefix": true
}
to the type section in dfs
(keepPrefix = false will remove namespace from tags in Apache Drill since
namespace can be named differently between documents and are not really part of
the tagname)
The parser tries to be nice to Drill / JSON Reader by avoiding mixing
types, arranging recurring values in arrays, and by removing empty elements.
This in order to minimize the amount of JSON errors due to the different nature
of XML and Drill.
Convention in JSON
Attributes are named using convetiion @ and then the attribute name and
store simple values.
All other objects are stored as objects with a #value field.
This is somewhat conforming with Apache Spark XML, but I need to store all
values in objects in order to avoid as many map of different type problems as
possible.
Current limitations:
DTD tags are currently not liked.
Schema is not validated against XSD's.
Also: SInce I am not a Drill Developer, I might have broken all rules
possible of syntax, format, layout, test frameworks, as well as how to submit
pull requests.

Adjusted output from Parser to fit Drill better
I have adjusted the SAX parser to produce JSON that Drill likes. Among
the things corrected is to remove empty objects from the tree built.
And to consolidate repeating values in arrays.
