Hi Julian,
If I remember right, Calcite does not support Postgres's json and jsonb datatype in current version (1.18). Calcite has built-in JSON support (see CALCITE-2266[1]) similar to what has been implemented in Oracle and MS SQL, It is a earlier version of the whole JSON things described in the SQL standard. For now these functions[2] mainly accepts character datatypes as JSON input, other data types are not supported yet. I am not so familiar with Postgres's JSON implementation but I think the implementation are wildly different with Calcite's, Some functions have conflict syntax with Calcite's function(E.g. JSON_VALUE). If you'd like to process JSON using Postgres's syntax, maybe at first you need to change the Parser code of Calcite to support Postgres's json and jsonb Operators, and also disable the built-in JSON_VALUE function then add Postgres's JSON functions (if you want to use Postgres's JSON_VALUE function on Calcite 1.18).
