> Note one important property of this design is that we could incrementally build up shredded variant output from JSON directly, rather than having to parse the json into a variant and then shred it again (with a copy) Same goes for converting a strongly-typed column as variant, e.g. if the engine/application doing the write uses a fixed schema but writes as variant for compat with other engines/applications -- including past self -- who prefer other schemas. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
