Hi David,
JSON files are never splittable: there is no single-character way to find the
start of a JSON record within a file.
Drill is supposed to support two JSON formats: the array format from the
earlier post, and the non-JSON (but very common) list of objects format in this
example.
Thanks,
- Paul

Get rid of the opening and closing brackets and see if you can turn the commas
into newlines.. The file needs to be splittable I think to reduce memory
overhead vs parsing a giant string...
{"var1": "foo", "var2":"bar"}
{"var1": "fo", "var2": "baz"}
{"var1": "f2o", "var2": "baz2"}
{"var1": "f3o", "var2": "baz3"}
{"var1": "f4o", "var2": "baz4"}
{"var1": "f5o", "var2": "baz5"}

Subject: Error: DATA_READ ERROR: Error parsing JSON - Cannot read from the
middle of a record
[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Hi All,
I'm getting an error querying some of my json files.
The error I'm getting is: Error: DATA_READ ERROR: Error parsing JSON - Cannot
read from the middle of a record. Current token was START_ARRAY
The json files are in array format, like [ { "var1": "foo", "var2":
"bar"},{"var1": "fo", "var2": "baz"}]
I found a ticket that indicates this format is not supported by Drill yet,
DRILL-1755
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__jira.apache.org_jira_browse_DRILL-2D1755&d=DwIBaQ&c=zUO0BtkCe66yJvAZ4cAvZg&r=SpeiLeBTifecUrj1SErsTRw4nAqzMxT043sp_gndNeI&m=G0Hsj4vSq2tBbv1c1dW6zC3pOzA_kSuhlQoFvFKpdJo&s=Dh8nYVKoOA8nQ3XdDmauSethwq9x4ric2_MsYMcfDdc&e=>
, but I find it hard to believe there is no workaround or solution since this
was reported
4 years back. Does anyone have a solution or workaround to this problem?
Thanks,
Scott
