bq. Should we just figure out a better way of serializing the list of names and column infos?
Yes. There are lots of solutions to this. We could always use a base attribute name (like "SELECT_EXPR") and then tack on a 1, 2, 3, ... for each argument and do the same for the data type or whatever other info we need to pass through.

The key is to not depend on a delimiter, because it'll always be possible that the delimiter is used in an expression, so this approach is DOA.

> We currently send in the select expressions for the MR integration with a delimiter separated string, split based on the delimiter, and then recombine again using a comma separator. This is problematic because the delimiter character may appear in a select expression, thus breaking this logic. Instead, we should use a comma as the delimiter and avoid splitting and recombining as it's not necessary in that case. Instead, the entire string can be used as-is in that case to form the select expressions.
