Flink 2.1 introduced a variant type with the same motivation as DataSQRL's jsonb type for a succinct binary representation of json instead of a string. However, support for variant is still very limited (e.g. no aggregation function support).
We want to switch from JSONB to VARIANT before the 1.0.0 release.
