Hey Luca,
This is great feedback. The giant document wrapping thing is clearly a
common pattern and we're trying to figure out the right way to integrate.
Full JSON support is something we're committed to but we're not there
yet. You've hit the two main things we're missing: single large json with
embedded records and heterogeneous arrays. We'll have both addressed
shortly with the large single json probably coming first. Can you file a
jira and I'll get one of our doc team guys to more clearly spell this out
in the documentation.
Here you are:

I took the liberty to add a comment to:

The url as data source is something we've discussed but haven't yet filed a
jira. It would be pretty straight forward and is quite nice as you could
rely on mime type to understand format. Would you be interested in trying
to put a prototype together to get it started? Even a good jira with an
outline of functionality and integration points would be very helpful.
Hmm... that's a bit too much for me: I don't know even where to start dealing with
the Apache Drill codebase.
