> A scalar/simple field turning to complex field is a very common scenario in many JSON documents.
> For ex: An integer turning into an array of integers , a string turning into a map of multiple strings .
> Drill currently already provides ability to query the scalar data with datatype changes by turning all text mode to true.
> This should be expanded it to support querying the scalar-complex type changes as well. This gives power for the users to look at the data without fixing/modifying JSON upfront.
> Here is a quick example from a public dataset.
> {
>   "data": {
>     "games": {
>       "game": [
>         {
>           "home_runs": {
>             "player": {
>               "first": "Jason"
>             }
>           }
>         },
>         {
>           "home_runs": {
>             "player": [
>               {
>                 "first": "Kosuke"
>               },
>               {
>                 "first": "Alfonso"
>               },
>               {
>                 "first": "Jeff"
>               },
>               {
>                 "first": "Brandon"
>               }
