Should query type be string or array?

[christianbundy]

var Query = {
  type: 'JSONString',
  description: 'the query it self. It should be the format of a map-filter-reduce query',
  optional: false
}

I don't think that this is right, because queries are meant to look like:

[{
  "$filter": {
    "foo": "bar"
  }
}]

This is an array of objects, not a string.

that's correct, but if it's a string, it tries to json parse it. otherwise it's quite awkward to write a query from the cli... I guess it should be JSON string or object. the pattern you use in dominictarr/map-filter-reduce#6 works but only for very simple queries

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
