Ranganath Govardhanagiri commented on PHOENIX-7098:
---------------------------------------------------

I did some reading around your statement and I think JSON can't be considered 
as a scalar type. As per the definition here - [Scalar type - Computer Science 
Wiki|https://computersciencewiki.org/index.php/Scalar_type] - "Scalar type in 
programming refers to a data type that can represent a single value, as opposed 
to a more complex data structure such as an array or object." 

>From the above definition I believe we can consider JSON as a complex type. 
>Similar to indexing in an Array, we use jsonpath expressions to fetch elements 
>in JSON. Probably we can keep them together and ordering can be anyway.

Does this make sense?
