saultawil opened a new issue #12940: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
