Sparksoniq 0.9.4 "Birch"

New alpha release for Sparksoniq, a JSONiq engine to query large-scale JSON datasets stored on HDFS. Spark under the hood.

New: various bugfixes:

• count clauses are supported and pushed down to Spark
• simple keys must no longer be quoted when constructing objects (in particular: null pointer exception is fixed)
• error message when a function name+arity is not found is more helpful
• it is no longer necessary to supply the --master option twice on the CLI: only once to spark-submit is enough.

The jar files no longer contain the Spark libraries, as they are provided by the local environment or the cluster.

The jar file with ANTLR 4.7 is to be used with Spark 2.3+. Older versions (2.0+) use ANTLR 4.5.3.
