URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/12940


   I would like to know if there is any plans to support nested fields like 
some other tools that now support this like elasticsearch/kibana.
   
   I use Superset against a Spark SQL HiveServer2 compatible JDBC query engine 
that reads data from Hive tables that support nested data but in Superset I 
cannot selected the nested fields independently.
   
   I spend a lot of time flattening fields for new projects. 
   Also, for users, referencing the fields with dot notation would be much more 
intuitive.
   
   A lot of modern data arrives in json with nested struct fields and is stored 
on an object store like S3. Since there are more and more data lakes or 
lakehouses front-ended with query engines like Presto and Spark with this type 
of nested data, users/developers want a simple way of querying this data with 
minimal change. So it would be very strategic and beneficial to Superset to 
support such a capability.
