I have a table containing a column `foo` which is a string, and is json. I have a class called `Foo` which maps to `foo_json` and can be serialized / deserialized using Jackson.
Is it possible to define the column as `private Foo foo` rather than `private String foo` and manually deserializing it? From https://docs.datastax.com/en/drivers/java/3.1/com/datastax/driver/extras/codecs/json/JacksonJsonCodec.html it looks like one just has to add that maven dependency? Does anything else have to be done?
