> In some modules we have rows/documents that can have nested objects. For instance in the JSON module. Often these modules will use the ColumnNameAsKeysRowConverter class to extract values from it's row/document objects into MetaModel's rows.
> It would be a big improvement if we allow the user to specify column names with a syntax that allows them to denormalize their data and extract information even from nested objects. For instance if you have this document:
> {
> "name":{ "first":"Joe", "last":"Sixpack" },
> "gender":"MALE",
> "verified":false,
> "userImage":"Rm9vYmFyIQ=="
> }
> Then a column with the name "name.first" should resolve "Joe" from this particular document. I believe we have similar functionality in some of the NoSQL modules, so consider how we can best reuse it.
