This PR proposes mapping external catalog JSON types to String instead of JsonB in Apache Doris. This change is motivated by the realization that JDBC retrieves JSON data as a String JSON string, regardless of its storage format (Json(String) or Json(Binary)). Mapping to String streamlines data retrieval, simplifies write-backs, and ensures compatibility with all JSON(String) and JSON(Binary) functions, despite potentially misleading displays of JSON data as Strings in Doris. This approach avoids the performance overhead and complexity of converting each row of data from JsonB to String, making the process more efficient and elegant. About Upgrade To ensure query compatibility with existing Catalogs in the upgraded version,we currently still retain the capability to query external JSON types as JSONB. However, once you upgrade to the new version and either refresh the Catalog or create a new one, all external JSON types will be treated as Strings. To ensure consistent behavior,and possible future removal of support for JSON as JSONB query code, it is highly recommended that you manually refresh your Catalog as soon as possible after upgrading to the new version.
