Hi, I have a streaming source loading data to a raw table, which has a string type col (whose value is JSON) to hold all data. I want to use colon sign operator to get fields from the JSON string. Is this going to have some perf issues vs. I use a schema+from_json function?
Yes, I did some testing. With some schema, I read the same data source and write the parsing results to diff tables. For 586K rows, the perf diff is 9sec vs. 37sec. For 2.3 million rows, 16sec vs. 133sec.
