> Currently in json format, if the field type is varchar, we will call
> `JsonNode.asText()` which we always assumes the JsonNode is a TextNode.
> However, in many cases, we want to force it as varchar for other types, etc
> ObjectNode. We should use `JsonNode.toString()` for other JsonNode instead of
> `JsonNode.asText()`.
