JsonDataSource: Parent Columns and Child Columns don't have matching column types

I’m trying to create JsonDataSource to use in the Report engine, but getting an exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Parent Columns and Child Columns don’t have matching column types

Here is the JSON:

{
  "POLICY": {
    "POLICY_ID": "abcd",
    "_PRODUCT_ID": "oiuy",
    "_LAST_MODIFIED_DATE": "2021-05-18T11:29:00.196Z",
    "_BILLING_ADDRESS": {
      "_COUNTRY_CODE": "DEU"
    }
  }
}

here is the code:

String location = "test2.json";
JsonDataLoadOptions options = new JsonDataLoadOptions();
options.setSimpleValueParseMode(JsonSimpleValueParseMode.STRICT);
JsonDataSource jsonDataSource = new JsonDataSource(location, options);

More input test data:

The same JSON, just if “POLICY_ID” property also starts with an underscore, then the creation of the JsonDataSource is successful:

{
  "POLICY": {
    "_POLICY_ID": "abcd",
    "_PRODUCT_ID": "oiuy",
    "_LAST_MODIFIED_DATE": "2021-05-18T11:29:00.196Z",
    "_BILLING_ADDRESS": {
      "_COUNTRY_CODE": "DEU"
    }
  }
}

So, basically the failure pattern is:

"ROOT_PROPERTY_NAME": {
    "ROOT_PROPERTY_NAME_ID": {}
}
