An attempt to make BigQuery's
ARRAY
&STRUCT
column types suitable for comparison.As of now, they are not supported at all, and data-diff does not even understand this type of columns. So the addition will only affect BigQuery and no other databases.
The comparison is rather simplistic — convert to JSON (lists & dicts correspondingly) and try to hash & compare those instead of the real arrays & structs.
This might be affected by different serialization results, such as different key ordering, different spacing & indenting in json, so on. This problem is to be solved separately in datafold/sqeleton#15.
