Is there an easy way in drill to convert from an ARRAY or MAP to a string
representation of the same? I know this is an odd question, but I realized
I just was spinning my wheels because I thought I was doing something wrong
with JSON and KVGEN and FLATTEN but in reality, it was working fine, I just
didn't see it because SQL Squirrel kept returning "<Unknown Type (2,002)>
instead of the results of the function.

I guess, if I could take the output from FLATTEN(KVGEN()) and wrap it in a
"CAST(FLATTEN(KVGEN()))" then at least I could continue exploration.

I know that it is a workaround for the limitations of Squirrel, but I'd be
interested in other's thoughts on that, is there a tweak to squirrel that
would allow that to work properly, or just casting it as needed. (Note I
tried CAST as STRING  and CASTS as VARCHAR with not much success.
