Description

Publicly available JSON data sometimes have the following structure (arrays as first level elements):

[
{"accessLevel": "public"
},
{"accessLevel": "private"
}
]

Drill currently does not support Arrays or Scalars as first level elements. Only maps are supported. We should add support for the arrays and scalars.

Log attached.
