I'm curious about RisingWave's capabilities regarding unstructured data processing. Since we deal with socially generated images, audio, and video, I want to know if RisingWave can process and save this type of data as a stream. We are considering using RisingWave as a data lake if it can handle transaction data, both structured and unstructured, in a unified manner. Can you provide insights into how RisingWave manages unstructured data and if it supports data types like Array, Struct, and Json?

It's a good question! We believe semi-structured data is becoming popular so we are investigating it from day one. Since we choose SQL as our first-class language, we will support Array, Struct, and Json data types, just like PostgreSQL, Hive, or other data systems.
