> Currently the only way to evaluate a path expression on a JSON object is
> through get_json_object. If there are many fields in the JSON object need to
> be extract, we have to call this UDF multiple times.
> There are many use cases that get_json_object needs to be called many times
> in one query to convert the JSON object to a relational schema. It would be
> much desirable if we have a JSON UDTF that supports the following syntax:
> {code}
> select a.id, b.*
> from a lateral view json_table(a.json_object, '$.f1', '$.f2', ..., '$.fn') b
> as f1, f2, ..., fn
> {code}
> where the json_table function only scans the json_object once and return a
> set of tuple of (f1, f2,..., fn).
