It requires the > declaring the column as complex type (struct, map, array) to unpack nested > json data. > Even though the data field is not a valid JSON String type there is value > treating it as plain String instead of throwing an exception as we currently > do. > {code:java} > create table json_table(data string, messageid string, publish_time bigint, > attributes string); > {"data":{"H":{"event":"track_active","platform":"Android"},"B":{"device_type":"Phone","uuid":"[36ffec24-f6a4-4f5d-aa39-72e5513d2cae,11883bee-a7aa-4010-8a66-6c3c63a73f16]"}},"messageId":"2475185636801962","publish_time":1622514629783,"attributes":{"region":"IN"}}"}} > {code} > This JIRA introduces an extra Table Property allowing to Stringify Complex > JSON values instead of forcing the User to define the complete nested > structure -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
