Work Description: reuvenlax commented on issue #8006: [BEAM-6772] Change
Select semantics to match what a user expects
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/8006#issuecomment-475746054
Given that this is mostly an issue eliding nested arrays, I wonder if we
should merge this PR and file a JIRA for the nested array case. We can
discuss the correct behavior on the JIRA. This PR seems more correct than
the old behavior.

> Consider the following schema:
> User:
> name: STRING
> location: Location
>
> Location:
> latitude: DOUBLE
> longitude: DOUBLE
>
> If you apply Select.fieldNames("location"), most users expect to get back a
> row matching the Location schema. Instead you get back an outer schema with a
> single location field in it. Select should instead unnest the output up to
> the point where multiple fields are selected.
