             Summary: Run-time code generation support when a function 
parameter is complex nested type.
                 Key: DRILL-927
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-927
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jinfeng Ni
            Assignee: Jinfeng Ni


In this JIRA, we will enhance the run-time code generation component, in the 
following ways:

1. Allow generate the run-time code for function whose parameter is 
FieldReader.  A parameter FieldReader could match an argument of Repeated List, 
Repeated Map, or an element in Repeated List/map, or any nested complex type.

2. In addition, FieldReader will also match any singular value, such as int, 
float4, varchar. 

With this support enabled,  one could implement a function with parameter 
FieldReader to match any simple or complex nested type.

As an example of how to leverage this new code generation logic, we add a new 
function "convert_toJson", which will convert any simple or complex type into a 
string in json format. 

    @Param FieldReader input;
    @Output VarBinaryHolder out;
