Some test cases for reading compressed JSON tables was added in
IMPALA-12431, but due to the lack of appropriate handling of the
database name a test case failed in exhaustive mode. This patch fixes
that issue.
Testing:
- Passed TestHdfsJsonScanNodeErrors in exhaustive mode.

Prototype of HdfsJsonScanner implemented based on rapidjson, which
supports scanning data from splitting json files.
The scanning of JSON data is mainly completed by two parts working
together. The first part is the JsonParser responsible for parsing the
JSON object, which is implemented based on the SAX-style API of
rapidjson. It reads data from the char stream, parses it, and calls the
corresponding callback function when encountering the corresponding JSON
element. See the comments of the JsonParser class for more details.
The other part is the HdfsJsonScanner, which inherits from HdfsScanner
and provides callback functions for the JsonParser. The callback
functions are responsible for providing data buffers to the Parser and
converting and materializing the Parser's parsing results into RowBatch.
It should be noted that the parser returns numeric values as strings to
the scanner. The scanner uses the TextConverter class to convert the
strings to the desired types, similar to how the HdfsTextScanner works.
This is an advantage compared to using number value provided by
rapidjson directly, as it eliminates concerns about inconsistencies in
converting decimals (e.g. losing precision).
Added a startup flag, enable_json_scanner, to be able to disable this
feature if we hit critical bugs in production.
Limitations
- Multiline json objects are not fully supported yet. It is ok when
each file has only one scan range. However, when a file has multiple
scan ranges, there is a small probability of incomplete scanning of
multiline JSON objects that span ScanRange boundaries (in such cases,
parsing errors may be reported). For more details, please refer to
the comments in the 'multiline_json.test'.
- Compressed JSON files are not supported yet.
- Complex types are not supported yet.
Tests
- Most of the existing end-to-end tests can run on JSON format.
- Add TestQueriesJsonTables in test_queries.py for testing multiline,
malformed, and overflow in JSON.
