> High level question: how do JSON index, jsonextractscalar or any of the
other features associated with JSON columns work with this feature?
This PR doesn't effect JSON index, jsonextractscalar, or any of the json
querying features in any way. All we are doing here is ensuring that we
recognize avro complex types (which currently throws an error message) for
ingestion into a JSON column.
> Please submit a design document for what you want to achieve so it can be
reviewed.
If one ignores the test file, the actual change here is less than 10 lines
of code with this piece being the most important:
```
case MAP:
case ARRAY:
case RECORD:
case UNION:
return DataType.JSON;
```
Basically, what we are saying is that if you have a complex type in your
avro file, we will allow for ingesting that field into a JSON column.
