Description

The JSON format for the logical and physical plans is needed to transmit the plans throughout a drill cluster . Currently the serialization and deserialization operations are not capable of being used in conjunction with one another to effectively accomplish this with all plans. We need to fix the current bugs with plans that are unable to be serialized and read back in and then develop a testing mechanism that will ensure the operation stays symmetric as we modify and improve the structure of both plans.
