> Drill Query on MapR DB JSON Table or it View fails with a
> SchemaChangeException. The only distinct values is NULL and some Text.
> The issue is that when Drill sees a NULL or does not see any values for a
> column in the first batch it assumes the type as NULLABLE INT. Subsequently,
> when the data shows up and it is different from NULLABLE INT there is a
> schema change. Operators e.g. aggregators etc. cannot handle such a Schema
> Change and throw a SchemaChangeException.
>
> One of the short-term solution implemented in this fix: Add a CAST expression
> which will cast null values to the target type. Hence, we would never see a
> SchemaChange due to NULLs. However, the MapRDB Reader code was written
> differently than other reader and was hitting a SchemaChangeException. The
> code was changed to make it similar to other scans i.e. emit a new batch
> whenever a schema change is encountered.
