JSON output for beegfs index query

[scaleoutsean]

I wonder why JSON output isn't included. It seems theoretically possible, but doesn't have any effect. I tried this:

beegfs --output json index query  -I . -s "select * from entries"

Also, in beegfs help there's something about row count, but it's unclear what should be set to 0 to drop table headers.

When printing using a table, the header will be repeated after printing page-size rows (set
                                   to 0 to omit printing table headers)

I can create a wrapper that does what I want, but having --output flag that works with index feature would be better.

Long story short we added JSON support en-masse to commands that were printing structured output (i.e., tables) but those commands were written to recreate the output of the equivalent Linux utilities (e.g., find, ls) so there is some work needed to transform the output into JSON but I think its doable. I opened an issue to look into it ThinkParQ/beegfs-go#179.

Just set the global flag --page-size=0.
