[jira] [Commented] (DRILL-6390) UnsupportedOperationException: Unable to get holder type for minor type [LATE] and mode [OPTIONAL]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6390?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16468023#comment-16468023 ] 

Paul Rogers commented on DRILL-6390:
------------------------------------

This is, unfortunately, a known limitation of Drill's JSON support. If your fields were at the top level, you could work around this by using a CAST. But, the trick does not work in nested structures (without also re-projecting the column to the top level.) There is another ticket open with the gory details.

> I tried this query on some of our JSON files that are stored in a S3 Bucket, in which I tried to convert JSON objects (application, application_fee) into varchar:

> SELECT
>      CONCAT(
>          '"', CONVERT_TO(_stg.data.application_fee, 'JSON'), '"'

>      FROM
>          s3_bucket.`<PATH_TO_FILE_IN_S3>` AS js

> On some of the datasets the query failed and I got this error message

> The dataset, on which the query failed looks like following:
> {code:java}
> {
>     "data": 
>         [
>             {
>                 "application": null,
>                 "application_fee": null,
>                 "amount": 1
>             },
>             {
>                 "application": 
>                     {
>                          "id": "some_id",
>                          "name": "Some App",
>                          "object": "application"
>                     },
>                 "application_fee": null,
>                 "amount": 5
>             }
>         ],
>     "has_more": false,
>     "object": "list",
>     "url": "/v1/charges"
> }
> {code}
> I ran some further tests on the query and found out that the query only fails at object "application_fee", which is null in both arrays of object "data". Which might explain why I never ran into this error in the other datasets (no object arrays there are null).
