Hi Alfonso, I think while there is people using JSON with multi-typed attributes, then we should. But in general, I don't think people use them too much, it's funny that people rather have more "structured" data. So I'd say that if supporting them for a few a users makes the rest of development overly complex, slow, then we might be torn in doing it but if it is something easy that will make a few users happy, then I'm +1. Maybe the Nutch committers/users in the list can say if they have seen a lot of these JSON data and give us some input on it.
