             Summary: Add nested field projector and language extension to 
project nested record
                 Key: TAJO-1359
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAJO-1359
             Project: Tajo
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: parser, physical operator, planner/optimizer
            Reporter: Hyunsik Choi
            Assignee: Hyunsik Choi
             Fix For: 0.11


We need to improve Projector class to get nested record fields, and we also add 
some language extension to specify certain nested records in table schema. Both 
works should be done together. Otherwise, we need to test an entire work 
process.

Using dot '.' would be good for the syntax to specify nested fields. Many 
systems (Hive, Google BigQuery, and Drill) already use this syntax. Probably, 
many users are familiar with this form.

For example, if *employee* is a root nested record field and it includes *age* 
and *name* fields, consisting two fields lastname and firstname, we can specify 
them individually as follows:

{code}
SELECT employee.age, employee.name.lastname, employee.name.firstname FROM ...
{code}
