Description
Is Opensearch 1.2.4 along with JDBC driver 1.1.0.1 compatible for retrieving and analysing data in Tableau?
I tried this JDBC driver in DbVisualizer and there are errors parsing columns of type OBJET, Unknown Type (2.002), these are the root / intermediate nodes of the fetched JSON records, that prevents the rest of the columns to show correctly. This does not happen, it woks properly, in an ElasticSearch with license and Elastic JDBC driver.
My guess is that the problem lies in the JDBC side, OpenSearch JDBC driver is missing something to properly parse fetched JSON records, relative to root / intermediate nodes. Maybe ElasticSearch JDBC Driver is ignoring them and only parses final nodes to columns.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the parsing errors with OpenSearch 1.2.4, JDBC driver 1.1.0.1, and the reported Tableau or DbVisualizer workflow, then trace how root and intermediate JSON objects are exposed as columns; done means those fields no longer prevent the remaining columns from displaying.
