Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * This affects line of business users who are trying to see    *
  * data using CSV if the developer used '.' to nest JSON data.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When a customer sends JSON data like {"this.data" :          *
  * "logging" } this would split CSV files in an incorrect way   *
  * because we broke nested JSON data into columns using '.'.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• We changed this to split nested JSON data into columns on ':'
