KendraKrat opened a new issue #2304:
URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/issues/2304


   Consider the example shown on the XML format plugin's documentation page 
(https://drill.apache.org/docs/xml-format-plugin/), which shows a list of books 
(simplified below to one book for brevity):
   
   <books>
      <book>
        <author>O.-J. Dahl</author>
        <title binding="hardcover" subcategory="non-fiction">Structured 
Programming</title>
        <category>PROGRAMMING</category>
        <year>1972</year>
      </book>
    </books>
   
   With dataLevel=2, each book becomes a row in the query output table, and the 
title attributes will end up correctly in the attributes column as shown on the 
documentation page.
   
   However, if the top-level item <book> has attributes, these attributes are 
not captured anywhere within the query output table.
   My data is similar to this, and I need to capture the important attributes 
of the top-level items in my list. 
   Could they be added to the attributes column?
   
   If the <book> element above had a weight attribute, e.g.: <book weight="0.8">
   then could it be added to the attributes column,  e.g.:  
{"book_weight":0.8","title_binding":"hardcover","title_subcategory":"non-fiction"}
 ?
