> I expected this to work in structured, but it seems that since planner has no idea about meta data, error message seems reasonable:
> {code}
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select a1, b1 from `t1.json` union all select * from `t1.json`;
> Query failed: Query failed: Failure validating SQL. org.eigenbase.util.EigenbaseContextException: At line 1, column 47: Column count mismatch in UNION ALL
> Error: exception while executing query: Failure while executing query. (state=,code=0)
> {code}
> Query below returns very confusing result. I expected it to error out like the query above:
> {code}
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select a1 from `t1.json` union all select * from `t1.json`;
> +------------+
