Wenchen Fan updated SPARK-5278:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
for json string like
{"a": {"b": 1, "B": 2}}
The SQL `SELECT a.b from t` will report error for ambiguous reference to fields.
But for json string like
{"a":[{"b": 1, "B": 2}]}
The SQL `SELECT a[0].b from t` will pass and pick the first `b`

  was:
for json string like
    {"a":[
      {
         "b": 1,
          "B": 2
       }
    }
The SQL `SELECT a.b from t` will report error for ambiguous reference to fields.
But for json string like
    {"a":[
      {
        "b": 1,
        "B": 2
      }]
    }
The SQL `SELECT a[0].b from t` will pass and pick the first `b`


> ambiguous reference to fields in Spark SQL is incompleted
