-----------------------------------

             Summary: Only one row found in a JSON document that contains multiple items.
                 Key: DRILL-4102
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4102
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: OS X, Drill embedded, v1.1.0 installed via HomeBrew
            Reporter: aditya menon


I tried to analyse a JSON file that had the following (sample) structure:

```
{
    "Key1": {
      "htmltags": "<htmltag attr1='bravo' /><htmltag attr2='delta' /><htmltag attr3='charlie' />"
    },
    "Key2": {
      "htmltags": "<htmltag attr1='kilo' /><htmltag attr2='lima' /><htmltag attr3='mike' />"
    },
    "Key3": {
      "htmltags": "<htmltag attr1='november' /><htmltag attr2='foxtrot' /><htmltag attr3='sierra' />"
    }
}
```

(Apologies for the obfuscation, I am unable to publish the original dataset. But the structure is exactly the same. Note especially how the keys and other data points *differ* in some places, and remain identical in others.)

When I run a `SELECT * FROM DataFile.json` what I get is a single row listed under three columns: `"<htmltag attr1='bravo' /><htmltag attr2='delta' /><htmltag attr3='charlie' />"` [i.e., only the entry `Key1.htmltags`] .

Ideally, I should see three rows, each with entries from Key1..Key3, listed under the correct respective column.
