Tamas Mate updated CALCITE-7448:
--------------------------------
Description:
Implement support for colon field access syntax in the parser, for example:
{code:java}
v:field
v:field.subfield
v:['field name']
arr[1]:field{code}
Several systems (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks) support this kind of access, and
with recent VARIANT support in Parquet it seems increasingly relevant for
interoperability.
One challenge is that ":" is already used in JSON constructor syntax, for
example:
{code:java}
JSON_OBJECT('k': v)
JSON_OBJECTAGG(k: v){code}
The implementation needs to define how these cases interact, whether through
disambiguation, dialect-specific behavior, or parser configuration.
