Description

Jira Link: DB-1878 JSON support is added in #1543.

Look to see if other datatypes need to be supported.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing JSON support implementation in pull request #1543 and identify which datatypes are currently missing in the bulk loader. Then implement support for those datatypes following the pattern used for JSON.
