Perhaps we should be trying for consistency with what Drill does for
analogous JSON data. Querying this document
```json
[
{
"foo": null
},
{
"foo": { "bar": 0 }
}
]
```
gives you
```
foo |
---------|
{} |
{"bar":0}|
```
. The null value becomes an empty map, but things are different to my
earlier comment. Adding an object with an int property `{"foo": 2}` returns an
error, not a map with a special key `{'__value__' : 2 }`. Somehow Drill is
able to delay its decision on the column type until the ocurrence of the first
non-null value. Is this something that's possible with Easy format plugins?
