Hi, Glad to hear you're interested in working on this. I agree that what we'll need is native JSON support with a specific type and binary format, along the lines of what Postgres now has with JSONB[1]. It's unclear to me if this needs to ripple down to the HBase level with a custom block encoding as well.
The best we can do today is store JSON in its textual form and add built-in functions to access and functional indexes to make it perform. This has a lot of limitations, though, so a native JSON type is really what we need.
